Maybe I need a new challenge. I remember when a France team-mate told me once, 'When you wear the AC Milan shirt, it shows you have succeeded'. That makes you think.

I think it will be even harder this year. We're going to have to be really, really focused the whole 90 minutes of each game. It could turn on the slightest incident.

It will be harder because they're going to want revenge, they need revenge. When a team is hurt, they want to show their fans, and the whole world, that what happened last year was an error.

I have the feeling we can't lose. We're very strong this year. There's also a psychological factor. Teams playing us know they are likely to lose.

I know my strengths, my qualities, and I know what I am worth.

It will be harder because they are going to want revenge, they need revenge.

For many people, this would have been a great final. But one of us has to go out early and we'll be doing all we can to make sure it's them.

I don't think anybody will catch us. Chelsea will be the champions again. I don't know how many points ahead we will be but I'm sure of that.

It was a definite penalty.
