Jose Mourinho has said that although Chelsea are on a different level this season, they can only win the UEFA Champions League if the ‘sharks in the ocean’ let them.
The Blues finished top of their group, with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
Mourinho admits the real competition begins now and he is hopeful of getting a favourable tie, when the draws are conducted on Monday.
“We can dream about winning (the Champions League) because we did well last year and we are playing on a different level now,” Mourinho told Sky Sports after the match.
“But let’s see if the sharks can let us do that because there are a few sharks in the ocean.
“The real Champions League starts now. Barcelona are there, Real Madrid, Atletico (Madrid), Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund are there.
“Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea, Paris and everybody is there.
“What can we do? I don’t know. Last season, we were not one of the top four for sure and we played in the semi-finals. Let’s see what we can do this time step by step.”
