The former Wales international 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 matches to go.

Michael Ballack scored the winner with his second goal of the match 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."

Giggs believes United can get maximum points from West Ham United then Wigan Athletic and retain their league 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."
