Ryan Giggs insists Manchester United are more than capable of winning the Premier League and Champions League double.

The club's most decorated player is even more determined to taste glory at home and abroad after the 2-1 defeat by Chelsea on Saturday which means the teams are level on points at the top of the table with two games to go.

Michael Ballack scored the winner with his second goal of the game from the penalty spot with four minutes remaining after Wayne Rooney had equalised.

It was a bitter pill for United to swallow but Giggs expects the players to react on Tuesday when they face Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final at Old Trafford with the scores locked at 0-0.

He said: "We've got to lift ourselves as there is no bigger game.

"We want to win the league and we want to get in the Champions League final and we've got a chance to do that.

"We've got the players. We showed that, especially in the second half against Chelsea and we are looking forward to the game."

Ballack's winner came from the penalty spot after Michael Carrick was adjudged by referee Alan Wiley to have handled the ball.

Giggs said: "I haven't seen it but Mike said it hit his arm but he's trying to get his arm away.

"Is it handball? Is it ball to hand? It's hard to take, especially after we got back into the game. To lose to a penalty is disappointing.

"We just did not get the breaks - a bit of luck would have helped."

Giggs believes they can get maximum points from West Ham then Wigan and retain their title.

"We are capable of doing that," he said.

"We showed in the second half what battling qualities we've got and we'll need them in the next two games."

Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher, who returned to the side after a knee injury, is confident United can raise their game again.

He said: "The most important thing is to pick ourselves up. We've got some big games coming up now.

"We've got to use this anger and we've got to fuel it in the right direction and focus on Barcelona and then those two league games.

"We did have some chances but unfortunately it did not just happen for us.

"As time goes on, naturally you start to drop back a little bit because you've got the point, which is a good result for you.

"But in the end they have got the penalty and won the game."

Fletcher was pleased with the way his knee stood up in the face of a physical battle.

He said: "I feel good. I was worn out a little bit in the last couple of minutes but that is natural.

"The knee is still a little bit painful but it's at a bearable level now so I can play."
