Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes all clubs safely through to the Champions League knockout phase want to be drawn against his side.

The Blues won Group G courtesy of a comfortable 2-0 victory against the Portuguese’s former club Porto at Stamford Bridge last night ensuring they will face a runner-up in the round of 16.

One of Paris Saint-Germain, PSV Eindhoven, Juventus, Benfica, Roma or Gent await them when the draw is made on Monday and the 52-year-old is adamant their chances are slim.

“Every team finishing second wants to play us or Zenit St Petersburg,” said Mourinho.

“Every team doesn't want to play Barcelona, they don't want to play Real Madrid, they don't want to play Atletico, they don't want to play Bayern Munich.”

The former Real Madrid boss is aiming to become the first manager to win the European Cup with three different clubs, having led Porto and Inter Milan to the trophy in 2004 and 2010.

“A team which is struggling as we are is obviously not a candidate to win the Champions League because you have the best teams in Europe,” he added.

“But when we won it with Porto we were not candidates. When we won it with Inter we were not candidates.

“When we were candidates with Real Madrid we lost two semi-finals, and we lost two semi-finals with Chelsea as well. So let's see, you never know.”
