Manchester United's Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov has set his sights on winning the Champions League after breaking his country's goal-scoring record.
"I'm happy with the record because it was one of my aims," he told reporters at Sofia airport on Thursday. "I've achieved a lot and now (winning) the Champions League remains my only unrealised dream."The 28-year-old has reached the final of Europe's premier competition on two occasions, as part of Bayer Leverkusen's team that lost 2-1 to Real Madrid in the 2002 final and the United side beaten 2-0 by Barcelona in May.
"I took part in two finals and failed to win it so now I hope to make it third time lucky," Berbatov said.
Former record-holder Bonev, 62, said: "I knew long ago Berbatov would break my record but I'm proud a player with such class did it. He is a top player ... and I think it's going to be many years before there's another striker like him in the national team."
