Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez has drawn inspiration from Chelsea’s Champions League campaign, which culminated in their victory over Manchester City on Saturday.

Suarez helped the Los Rojiblancos to win the La Liga title in his first season at Diego Simeone’s side.

According to the Uruguay international, no club in Europe took the Blues seriously as possible contenders for the Champions League trophy until they won the trophy on Saturday.

But the west London club shot into reckoning after defeating Atletico Madrid in the latter stages of the competition.

Suarez said: “The ambition does not have to stop and why not dream of having that possibility of entering the club’s history and winning a European Cup.

“It would be something incredible, something unique. The teams and the possibilities are not marked by anyone before each season, whether one or the other is a favourite.

“Look at Chelsea, whom everyone wanted to face because they saw them as weak and they ended up winning the Champions League.”
