John Terry has said that the world is against them when it comes to winning the UEFA Champions League after yet another defeat, according to the Free Bets website.

The Blues went down 1-0 at home to Manchester United in their quarter-final first leg last night after being denied what appeared a stoppage-time penalty at Stamford Bridge. The decision was the latest in a long line of calls to have gone against Chelsea during their - as yet - unsuccessful seven-year quest to win the Champions League since Roman Abramovich bought the club.

And it has convinced captain Terry there is something more than footballing ability which is conspiring against them realising their dream. "I was saying to the lads afterwards that it's us versus everyone," Terry said.
