Bayern Munich supremo Franz Beckenbauer is wary of Jose Mourinho's Chelsea in the battle for the Champions League crown.

If Bayern make it past Real Madrid tonight, they could face Chelsea in the final. Beckenbauer once claimed Mourinho was "rude and with no education" but he admires him as a coach.

"Jose is Jose, I wouldn't say the best but if you have Guardiola and if you have Jose Mourinho it can't be better," he told the Daily Mail. "I like personalities. I like these kinds of people and he is one of the most successful coaches in the whole world.

"Yes, he can win it again, why not? Chelsea have the chance to beat Atletico at home, then they are in the final and in one game anything can happen."
