Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho insists there's nothing special drawing former club Chelsea in the Champions League knockouts.

The draw for the Champions League pitted Inter against Mou's old club, now led by Carlo Ancelotti, a man who has often traded barbs with the Special One.

"I don't have much to say about Chelsea because there are two months to go and we'll have to play many games before then," he shrugged yesterday.

"Besides, it's a game like any other against a tough team that will be very balanced. OK, it's my former squad, my old players, fans and stadium, but it's all 'former', it's all 'ex.'

"As a professional it is no different to taking on Manchester United or any other team. Right now I am focused on Lazio, working through the winter break, the Coppa Italia meeting with either Juventus or Napoli and then I'll think about Chelsea."
