Chelsea captain John Terry: 'Watching rivals lift Premier League title hurts'

Chelsea captain John Terry believes that winning the Premier League title this season would be a big "statement" from Jose Mourinho's side.

The West London outfit have been favourites for the coveted trophy since the 2014-15 campaign began and six months in, they have a seven-point lead at the top of the table.

Terry has lifted the title three times, but Chelsea have not scooped the honour since 2010.

In an interview with Chelsea's official magazine, the defender said: "Winning the league is the best feeling and, as someone who has been here a long time, seeing other teams win the league really hurts all summer. You go on your holidays and everyone thinks you get away from it, but you don't.

"It is the best title to go and win, domestically, and it would be a statement as well, after making some big signings this season, to then go on and win it and kick on after that."

This week, Chelsea will face Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie in the Champions League on Tuesday and will then play Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
