Berekum Chelsea winger Charles Taylor dreams of winning his second African Champions League medal this year. 

The Blues will battle Moroccan giant Raja Casablanca in the return leg of the 1/16th stage of the African Champions League at the Mohammed V Stadium on Sunday with a healthy 5-0 lead from the first leg encounter.

The Moroccan side will need to create another piece of football history to advance at the expense of the Ghanaian champions.

The 30-year-old, who last won the competition with giant Hearts of Oak 12 years ago, is relishing another title triumph.

“You know I was part of the Hearts squad that won the competition in 2000 and so I believe it will be fantastic to add my name to the list again,” Taylor told GHANAsoccernet.com

“We have been preparing for the game at Morocco because we know the task ahead of us will be huge.

“The road to winning the trophy is very far but we’re taking one game after the other and we’ll see how it goes.

“The squad we have at Chelsea is close to been compared to the one that conquered Africa for Hearts. The next few years will be an exciting one for us,”

Chelsea beat a Tema select side 5-0 in a routine friendly on Wednesday.

The winner of the tie will battle either Nigerian side Dolphins or Cotonsport of Cameroon at the 1/8th stage.
