Mourinho: Chelsea's Lampard needs Champions League winner's medal

Jose Mourinho admits he wants Chelsea to win the Champions League if his own Inter Milan team fail.

He said: "People like Frank Lampard, John Terry and Didier Drogba are my present friends. They are not just my former players. Frank is without doubt the best midfield player in Europe not to have won the European Cup and that is not right, it needs to be rectified.

"If he wins it at Chelsea or somewhere else, he needs to win it. He is too good not to. If we qualify I would very much like to draw an English club again. I loved my time in England and I know they would be great games.

"Liverpool would be a good one for me. I still feel I owe them one in Europe and Rafa has been my toughest opponent in European competition. I hear about my name linked to the Liverpool job, but they link Jose to everything."
