Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte has said his side will fight to the end to win the FA Cup and qualify for next season's champions' league after being knocked out of the round of 16 by Barcelona on Wednesday night. Chelsea, fifth in the Premier League and four points behind fourth-placed Liverpool, face Leicester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday, and Conte says they must try and achieve both their remaining two targets.

Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports, the former Juventus gaffer said
"I think every trophy is important for us," the Italian said. We started the season to try to fight until the end for every competition. In the Carabao Cup we reached the semi-final, in Champions League the last 16. This is the FA Cup quarter-final. If we win, we can play another semi-final at Wembley. We try to do our best in every competition. This must be our target."


Asked whether he was more focused on the FA title of Champions League qualification, the Italian replied


"I think we have to try to do both. To try to go to the next round and to reach the semi-final in the FA Cup it won't be easy. Leicester is a good team. In the last game we played at home, we suffered against them. Then to try to do our best also in the league, to find a place in the Champions League. It won't be easy."
