Jose Mourinho says opponents will fear drawing Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League last-16.

Spurs finished in the runner-up group and could face the likes of Barcelona, Juventus or PSG.

But Mourinho says his team fear absolutely no team.

"From the teams that finished second, I think the teams that finish first they wish they don't play against us. I think we are one of the strongest teams from the second group," he said.

"I know we are a country which goes through a crazy period and leaves marks on players and their conditions. But by February, I will understand my players better and we will be more ready.

"Today was not about being ready. It was about putting more emphasis on the players who rest than those who are playing. I tried to hide this from the players but they are clever, they knew my focus was not on this game, but the next one."
