Chelsea have struggled in the Premier League this season, but manager Jose Mourinho remains hopeful when it comes to the Champions League
.
Jose Mourinho believes Chelsea can still reign supreme in the Champions League, with the embattled manager insisting favourites do not always triumph in Europe.
Chelsea have found the going tough domestically this season, the Premier League title holders languishing 14 points off the pace in 15th position.

The Champions League, though, has offered Mourinho some joy.
Chelsea – second in Group G – can qualify for the knockout rounds with a match to spare if they overcome Maccabi Tel-Aviv and Dynamo Kiev fail to beat Porto on Tuesday.
And Mourinho remains hopeful about Chelsea's chances, pointing to his against-the-odds tournament triumphs with Porto and Inter.
"I know – and also Chelsea – we know that sometimes you win when you are not the favourites," said the Portuguese.
"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."
Mourinho added: "We have destiny in our hands. We can even reach 13 points if we win both of our last two matches.
"So, let's try to qualify and live for the last match against Porto with a fight for the first.
"Objective one is to qualify. Objective two is to finish first and if we win this game we have a big chance to qualify immediately, but a victory is good for both objectives."

Fashola is a conspirator in the threat to life of Igbos - Lagos PDP says, demands Oba's suspension

By -

PDP in Lagos state says that the 48-hour silence of Governor Fashola since the Oba of Lagos made death threats to Igbos indicates that not only is Fashola in agreement with what the Oba said, but that the Oba spoke on behalf of the state government. In a statement released today, the party demanded for the suspension of the Oba until after the elections. The statement reads in part; "The governor is thus a conspirator in this threat to life and must also be held accountable for any violence in this elections. We have at this point been vindicated about the desperation of the APC to retain Lagos state at all cost including the All Progressives Congress’ plan not to concede the imminent defeat on April 11. The positions of the PDP are coming on the heels of the now viral threat issued by the Oba of Lagos to Igbos that they must vote for the APC Governorship Candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode, or be drowned in Lagos water."
