John Terry says he has waited nine years to win the Champions League.

Chelsea captain John Terry insists that nine years of European heartache were 'completely wiped away' after his side won the Champions League on Saturday.

The Blues won their first European Cup after beating Bayern Munich in a penalty shootout at the Allianz Arena, and the England international is adamant that the disappointment of missing out in previous years is now gone.

Describing it as his greatest football moment, Terry said: "Incredible feeling. I've waited so long for it, you know, and for it to finally be here wipes away all those bad memories.

"Eight, nine years, I've been waiting for this.

"Being knocked out of competitions in the last minute, losing on penalties before in Moscow and losing against Liverpool, that's something that lived with me.

"But, all of a sudden, a big weight is off my shoulders and probably everyone within this football club."

Terry missed the final through suspension but joined in the celebrations to lift the trophy with stand-in skipper Frank Lampard.
