tribalfooball.com - December 15, 2006
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho faces a return to Porto - again - after drawing the Portuguese championship leaders in yesterday's Champions League pot.
He said: "Porto is a team with tradition in European football and is a team with ambition, so they deserve respect from us and will have it.
"Do we want to go to the quarter-finals? Of course. Are we confident? 100 per cent."
But the Stamford Bridge boss, who lost 2-1 in Porto in the group stages two years ago, added: "Only a good Chelsea playing at a high level will do it."
Porto are currently five points clear at the top of their league.
And director Antero Henriques said: "Sorry Mourinho, but the ones going through to the next round are us. These will be special games."
