  • Story Text: New Chelsea striker Andrei Shevchenko said on Monday (August 14) that the club stood a very good chance of winning the Champions League, but there were plenty of other good sides in the competition and they would also be fighting hard for victory.
    Shevchenko scored Chelsea's only goal in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Liverpool in the Community Shield match -- the traditional opening to the English Premiership season.
    Shevchenko joined Chelsea from Milan in a 30 million pound (56.65 million U.S. dollar) transfer before the World Cup in Germany, where he was captain of Ukraine in their first appearance in the finals.
