Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is determined to avoid slipping into the Europa League.
Mourinho is bidding to become the first manager to win the Champions League with three different clubs but he is only concentrating on the six group games to ensure his team finish in the top two and progress to the round of 16.
"The competition is part of my history and I'm part of the tournament's history. To win with three clubs would be unique," Mourinho, who won the competition when in charge at Porto and Inter Milan, told a news conference on Tuesday.
"Do I want to try to win again? Of course I want to. I have many years ahead of me. But in this moment I only think: don't play Europa League.
"It would be very bad for the evolution of our players to go to Europa League. We have to qualify. We have to do everything to qualify."
