UCL Round of 16: Mourinho prays for Gunners, Man City

•Says Blues fear no foes


Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, has given a pat on the back to the other two English premiership sides, Arsenal and Manchester City that made it to the UEFA champions league round of 16.
Mourinho, whose side topped its group after winning four of her six group games said he is happy with the fine run of Arsenal and Man City in the money spinning competition, even as he added that he wanted to see them forge ahead in the tournament.
“I’ m happy  Manchester City and Arsenal reached the last 16. I work in England. I want the prestige of English football and I hope they keep doing well,” Mourinho said after Chelsea’s  3-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon Wednesday night.
On who Chelsea will draw in the round of 16, Mourinho said the Blues fear no foe as he has a solid squad that is ready to face any opponent.
Monday’s draw will pair Chelsea against either Juventus, PSG, Basel, Bayer Leverkusen or Shakhtar Donetsk.
“We don’t fear anybody, but we know there are very good, strong teams in this competition. Last year we were close and we didn’t have the team playing at such a high level as we do this season, so we can dream we will do it,” Mourinho said.
While Chelsea had avoided the likes of fellow group-winners, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, French champions Paris St-Germain and Italy’s Serie A-winners, Juventus, finished second in their groups and could prove tricky knockout opponents.
