Carlo Ancelotti has insisted his Chelsea players focus on a new target to get over their disappointment after  their Champions League exit.

The ex-AC Milan boss has challenged his players to aim to capture a league and FA Cup double, to become only the seventh club in the history of the English game to do it.

“It’s to put a new motivation in all the club,” said Ancelotti, whose side were knocked out of Europe by Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan on Tuesday, and face Blackburn Rovers today. “To shift the objectives because we were focused on the Champions League and now we’ve changed our aim.

“I think to think you can do a double is a good motivation for everyone here.

If we want to do this, we have 11 games.

“It was my idea. It’s a new motivation for me, also. I needed this because I was disappointed by what happened on Tuesday.

“We have a very important trophy again to pursue,” said Ancelotti, who may be able to welcome back keeper Petr Cech for the Ewood Park game following three weeks out with a calf injury.

“We are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup and, maybe, two points behind Manchester United but with a game in hand.

“So our destiny is in our own hands.

If we win every game, we can do the double.

That’s very difficult, but we can try to do this. That’s very important, to think about this.”

Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin have banned 23 of their fans from all football stadiums in Germany for three years after supporters rioted at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium following last weekend’s defeat by Nuremberg.

After Nuremberg scored an injury-time winner in Berlin, around 100 spectators jumped barriers and chased the players off the pitch, threatening them with flagpoles which they then used to vandalise the bench area.

The German Football Federation are investigating the violence which saw parts of the stadium damaged before police regained control, but Hertha have identified 23 fans and informed them that they are banned until July 2013.

The 23 also face police prosecution for breach of the peace.
