Jose Mourinho insists Blues can lift the trophy

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is adamant his side can win this year’s Champions League despite their poor domestic form.

The Blues are sitting 15th in the Premier League table following just four wins out of 13, but Mourinho is confident his side could shock Europe by winning the Champions League.

Chelsea won the trophy back in 2012 after having a poor domestic campaign, and The Special One claims that it’s not always the best team that wins the trophy.

Mourinho’s men travel to Israel this evening to face Maccabi Tel-Aviv, and a positive results all-but secures their qualification to the knockout rounds, but the manager is aiming for higher.

Mourinho Eyes Trophy

Mourinho said: “I know – and also Chelsea – we know that sometimes you win when you are not the favourites.

“When I won it twice with Porto and Inter we were far from favourites. We were not even top 10 favourites.

“When Chelsea won, it was a very bad season they had and they won it. So we know the Champions League has these big doses of unpredictability.”
