Didier Drogba says Chelsea must get their Champions League exit out of their system as quickly as possible in order to win the title.
The striker couldn't hide his disappointment at getting knocked out of the competition to Inter Milan but he accepts over the two legs the Italians were the better of the two sides.
Drogba is also convinced the Blues squad is capable of achieving much more but he is warning his team-mates to start living up to their full potential.
He said: "On the night they were a better team, we couldn't play our game and they were stronger than us. We are disappointed but we have to come back stronger because the league is going to be a big battle.
"The only thing I can say is that even if we won, I'm really happy here and most of the players here are really happy and we want to stay here and continue the adventure.
"It will mean a lot to win together next season because we have been trying hard for such a long time. I hope there is more from this team. Every season is different and I hope that next season will be different for us in the Champions League."
Drogba is also seeking a personal change in fortune in Europe after getting sent-off towards the end of last night's 1-0 defeat to Inter.
He received a suspension the last time Chelsea went out of the Champions League as well and three years ago saw red as the Blues lost to Manchester United in the final.
He added: "It's difficult because every season we start and we have a lot of belief, then to go out like this is difficult. "
I'm going to try to make it better.
All have been unhappy endings so I hope next season will be mine."
