Soccer-Past defeats by Liverpool are driving on Chelsea's Terry

By Jeremy Butler

LIVERPOOL, England, April 21 (Reuters) - The pain of losing two Champions League semi-finals to Liverpool is driving Chelsea captain John Terry to ensure he does not suffer the same fate for a third time.

Chelsea, beaten by a controversial Luis Garcia goal in 2005 and again knocked out by Liverpool in a penalty shootout last season, have a chance for revenge in Tuesday's semi-final first leg at Anfield.

"That burning is still there when we have lost to Liverpool the two previous occasions and that will never go away," Terry told reporters on Monday.

"But one thing that will ease that will be going to the final and lifting that trophy."

Chelsea have lost three Champions League semi-finals in four seasons, they were also beaten by Monaco in 2004, but that statistic was of little concern to manager Avram Grant.

"We have lost at Liverpool two times but that belongs to history now. We can create history, that is our aim," said the Israeli.

"It is important for us to look at these games we face as the other results are not so important."
