Nani: Focused on Chelsea after securing UEFA Champions League final berth<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Manchester United winger Nani has urged his team-mates to quickly turn their attention to Chelsea after securing a UEFA Champions League final spot.<\/p>\n

United are on course for a Premier League and European double, with Chelsea and Barcelona standing in their way respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

After completing their 6-1 aggregate defeat of sorry Schalke in Wednesday’s semi-final, United return to domestic action on Sunday with the visit of title-challengers Chelsea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amid all the hype surrounding their European exploits, Nani wants a swift mindset change and he believes United hold a psychological advantage having beaten the Blues in the Champions League quarter-final.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The most important game now is Chelsea not Barcelona,” he said. “It will be very difficult. But we are at home and we have had good experiences against them.<\/p>\n

“We know if we want to win the game we have to play with confidence. The results against them in the Champions League were very good. I think that gives us the psychological advantage.”<\/p>\n

Title fight<\/h4>\n

United beat the Blues both home and away in their recent tie and, holding a three-point lead with just three league games to play, a draw would effectively end Chelsea’s hopes of defending their crown.<\/p>\n

Nani, though, insists United’s aim will be to win the game: “We just have to concentrate on our football and winning the game. If we do that then everything will be fine.<\/p>\n

TITLE RUN-IN<\/p>\n

“If we win this one then it is a great advantage for us. It is nearly over then. We have a great chance.”<\/p>\n

United face Barcelona in Wembley on 28th May in a bid to land their fourth European Cup, the first of which was won in the old stadium in 1968.<\/p>\n

Portugal international Nani, who has 10 goals in all competitions this season, hopes to be a part of another chapter in the club’s history.<\/p>\n

He said: “It is very important to be all together. It would another fantastic story for this club if we win at Wembley.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
