Ancelotti wants Chelsea to progress as group winners

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 11/24/2009 - 20:11

Carlo Ancelotti insists Chelsea will head to Porto on Wednesday looking to secure top spot in Group D.

The Blues have already booked a safe passage through to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League, with two games to spare, but have yet to ensure that they will progress as a group winner.

"Porto have a very good team and coach but while we respect them we have no fear," said Ancelotti.

"I think tomorrow is important not only for first place, but we will play against a strong team. They did well in the last game at Stamford Bridge (a 1-0 win for the Blues). We want to put our personality and quality on the pitch tomorrow night.

"We want to arrive at first place in the group and it is a very good test because Porto are a very good team.

"We have the possibility to win if we play better than them. I don't know any other way."
