We want top spot – Ancelotti
(20-10-2010) Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is determined to finish top of Champions League Group F. The Blues virtually guaranteed a last 16 place by beating Spartak Moscow 2-0 on Tuesday. They now need only one point from three games to qualify. Ancelotti however is adamant he will not start resting players or experimenting. "We have to stay focused about the next game. We want to finish in first place. The Champions League is important every time you play," commented the Italian. Despite missing leading striker Didier Drogba and midfield dynamo Frank Lampard, the EPL champions won in convincing style in Moscow on Tuesday thanks to first-half goals from Yuri Zhirkov and Nicolas Anelka.
