UCL Draw: Mourinho Wants PSG

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho hopes to be paired with PSG in Monday's Champions League draw.

Mourinho’s men can be paired with PSG, Juventus, FC Basel, Shakhtar Donetsk, or Bayer Leverkusen in the last-16 draw on Monday. PSG looks like the toughest task on paper, but Mourinho insisted that he liked to “swim with sharks” and warned against any complacency if Chelsea drew Basel, Shakhtar or Leverkusen.

“We have five different opponents,” he said. “Paris would be good as it’s easy to travel for us and the fans. That would be good.

"But we can’t decide the draw. Every one is hard. You think Basel is easy? We lost twice to them last year and they beat Liverpool. Two or three years ago they beat United. Leverkusen are a German team. Shakh­tar... I don’t think there are easy teams at this moment.”
