I hope there is a small flame flickering that can grow into a blazing inferno." While admitting that the title race will be demanding, Conte set qualifying for the Champions League as a minimum target for his team."The fans need to find a team ready to fight until the end, and to compete with the other teams," he added. "Then, I know, that there is only one team who wins the title. But we must stay there at the end of the season, to fight for the title and be there for the Champions League."Chelsea belongs in the Champions League, and we must stay there."</blockquote>
