Chelsea boss Di Matteo unimpressed by Benfica taunts

Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo is unimpressed by taunts from Benfica ahead of their Champions League quarterfinal.

Di Matteo took exception to claims from Benfica playmaker Nicolas Gaitan that Chelsea's "anxiety" this season was down to a lack of goals from Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres.

"My response is that we scored 13 goals in the last six games," he said.

"As long as somebody in my team scores, I don't care.

"We are scoring goals and creating chances. We're averaging more than two a game in the matches I've had in charge."
