Chelsea boss Mourinho not nervy drawing Real Madrid

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho isn't bothered about who they'll get in the Champions League semis. Mourinho come face-to-face with former club Real Madrid.

But he says: "No, not really. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico, Bayern, Manchester - it doesn't matter.

"We are in the semi-finals and if the quarter-finals had eight fantastic teams, imagine the four that are going to reach the semi-finals. Anything can happen.

"A big opponent is waiting for us in the semi-final, but I think it doesn't matter who.

"They know that we are a team with a special spirit, even if we are not in the maximum of our potential.

"[Nemanja] Matic and [Mohamed] Salah cannot play in the Champions League and we always have somebody suspended. It was Ramires today, the next one is [Branislav] Ivanovic.

"But, for sure, we are going to enjoy the same way I told the players we had to enjoy this second leg in the quarter-final.

"We have to enjoy to play against the great opponent waiting for us."
