Berbatov targets Champions League glory

Dimitar Berbatov is determined to taste Champions League glory with Manchester United this season- to lose his odd-man-out status.

Berbatov is one of the few current United players - new signing Michael Owen included - not to have been crowned a Champions League winner.

And after losing 2-0 to Barcelona in last year's final, United striker Berbatov revealed he is more fired up than ever to lift the European Cup, ahead of Thursday's draw.

"After what happened in last year's final we're even more determined in Europe this time around," said Berbatov.

"For me, losing in Rome was doubly frustrating because I wasn't at the club when the team won in Moscow.

"I've never won the Champions League so losing to Barcelona was very upsetting.

"This year our aim is to make it all the way to Madrid. The Bernabeu is one of the best stadiums in the world and I know we're good enough to make it there and win it.

"There are many clubs with very, very good players. But when you say the name Manchester United, it inspires respect in a lot of people. Nobody will fancy playing us."
