Mourinho would welcome Chelsea return for Galatasaray's Drogba

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho would love to draw Galatasaray in the Champions League Round of 16.

The southwest London outfit and the Istanbul giants could be paired with one another in the initial knockout stage when the draw is made on December 16 and the Blues boss would love to see Gala come to Stamford Bridge with club great Didier Drogba in tow.

"He (Drogba) deserves to come here and get a reception like I did against Hull City (when I returned)," Mourinho said of the star striker.

"I know what I felt and I think he deserves that. Yes, Galatasaray is difficult, it's very difficult, but I would like Didier to be back here and feel what I felt."
