The Nerazzurri were defeated by Manchester City in the hard-fought final in Istanbul two seasons ago.
“Everyone thought City would score four goals against us, but we played very well and deserved to draw and then even win,” Mkhitaryan told Il Corriere della Sera.
“Returning there would be a dream, even if the road is longer than it was two years ago. But we believe in it: we are confident that we can get there again.”
On this season's form, he added: “The comparison is with Inter last year, but we are doing our best and giving 100%.
“We know we conceded a lot of goals and didn't take full advantage of our chances, but we are working to get to last year's level. Many teams want to win this competition, and we are one of them.
“We lost points that we shouldn't have lost, otherwise we would already be at the top. We know it's a different season and we have to do better. I have confidence in it.”
