Ancelotti wants Euro glory to salvage season

LONDON - Carlo Ancelotti insists success in the Champions League can salvage Chelsea's season after its hopes of winning the FA Cup for a third successive season ended with a penalty shoot-out defeat against Everton.

Ancelotti's Cup holder crashed out 4-3 on penalties after drawing 1-1 with Everton in Saturday's fourth-round replay at Stamford Bridge.

With Chelsea 12 points behind Premier League leader Manchester United, the Blues - who are not even certain to finish in the top four - now have to win the Champions League to avoid finishing the campaign empty-handed.
