Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has paid tribute to John Terry ahead of tonight's Champions League tie against Porto.

Terry will make his 300th appearance as Chelsea skipper in the Estadio do Dragao.

"I am happy because John Terry is a very good captain, not only for his technical qualities but also the 'professionality' and I hope that he will be the captain for a long time," Ancelotti said.

Terry added: "Playing 300 games as Chelsea captain is a great achievement for myself.

"I have played for a lot of managers and they have kept me as captain which is a great honour and I want to stay fit and keep Chelsea winning trophies."
