Chelsea defender David Luiz has revealed that his side are keen on winning the Europa League.

Despite thrashing Nordsjaelland 6-1 at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, the Blues became the first-ever reigning Champions League winners to get knocked out in the group stages.

Having finished third in Group E, the Londoners will join the knockout stages of the Europa League, which Luiz insists that Chelsea are aiming to win.

"I look now to the Europa League like the Champions League. It's glamorous for me because I don't have this title, so I want to win it," said Luiz.

"We won the Champions League last season and this season you go out in the group, it's a little bit sad but at the end of the day we're looking at another competition for the future."

Chelsea travel to Sunderland on Saturday.
