Chelsea have started the Champions League with a thumping win over Qarabag, and the Blues also seem to be huge contenders for the Premier League this season.

For Tiemoue Bakayako, the 23-year-old has admitted he favours a Champions League trophy over a Premier League title.

“I would choose the Champions League because it is an exceptionally difficult competition. It’s not easy to win, so you should always grasp the chance to win it,” Bakayoko said.

“For the Premier League, you always have the opportunity to win when you play for a club like Chelsea. So, if I have to choose between the two, it would be the Champions League.

“The Champions League has a different feeling to it, compared to other competitions. It is the number one competition in the world.

“It’s always been my dream to play in the Champions League and win it.”
