Chelsea boss Mourinho enjoys UEFA dig ahead of Champions League opener

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho enjoyed a dig at UEFA in his media conference yesterday. Mourinho returns to the Champions League tonight against FC Basle.

"108 Champions League matches is a lot of matches and in quite a short period of time," said Mourinho. "So that means my relationship with the competition is not so bad.

"Winning the competition twice, when I think we are only three or four who have managed to do that, means also something. But I felt during these 108 matches that many strange things happened. I have to believe it is just football, no more than football."
