United lost 2-0 to Barcelona in the final in Rome last season.
“After what happened in last year’s final I think we’re even more determined in Europe this time around,” the Bulgarian told the club’s official website.
“For me, losing in Rome was doubly frustrating because I wasn’t at the club when the team won in Moscow – I’ve never won the Champions League so losing to Barcelona was very upsetting.
“This year our aim is to make it all the way to Madrid. The Bernabeu is one of the best stadiums in the world and I know we’re good enough to make it back there and, this time, win it.”
