Luiz keen on Europa League glory - Europa League bet tips
Chelsea defender David Luiz remains excited by the prospect of another challenge for European glory, following last season's Champions League success.
The Blues are in Bucharest to take on Steaua in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie, with Luiz seemingly not de-motivated by an early exit from the Champions League earlier this season.
The Brazilian told reporters: "This is a great opportunity to win another European title. Last season it was in the Champions League, everybody was happy.
"I have the hunger again and I think Chelsea have the hunger again to win titles. This is one big club. This is the way you need to think to play for a big club.
"It's an opportunity to win one more game, the first leg and we're looking for the title of the Europa League."
Chelsea will be without Demba Ba for the game in Bucharest as he is ineligible, meaning that there could be a start for Fernando Torres.
Victor Moses and Brazilian midfielder Ramires are also absent, with the Blues 2.05 to win the first leg, 1.20 to reach the quarter-finals and 4.50 to go on and win the competition.
Chelsea edged past Sparta Prague 2-1 on aggregate in the previous round of the Europa League, with Eden Hazard netting a dramatic late equaliser in the second leg at Stamford Bridge.
