David Beckham targets Champions League return

David Beckham says he would like another chance to play in the Champions League before retiring.

The former England captain, 37, will be a free agent after making his final appearance for LA Galaxy in the Major League Soccer final on Saturday.

"I always loved it when I went back to AC Milan being back in the Champions League," he said.

"I still miss playing in it, they are the games you love playing in. Of course I'd want to play in it again."

Beckham, who has been linked with a move to French second division side AS Monaco, added: "We'll see where I go next. If it's a team that's in the Champions League then it will be nice to be back."

The midfielder won the Champions League with Manchester United in 1999 and took part in the competition with Real Madrid and Milan.

He said he has been inspired by the longevity of the careers of two of his former United team-mates - Paul Scholes, 38, and 39-year-old Ryan Giggs.
