Robben welcomes Porto draw
Chelsea winger Arjen Robben admitted there was a sense of relief around the club after the Champions League draw paired them with Jose Mourinho's former club Porto.
Mourinho took Porto to victory in the competition in 2004 before leaving to guide Chelsea to successive title triumphs in the Barclays Premiership. It will not be the first time Mourinho has returned to his former club while in charge of the Blues as Chelsea faced Porto in the group stages in 2004/05 - winning at Stamford Bridge and losing in Portugal.
Robben, 22, said: "It's a nice draw for the manager, the staff and some of the players. It's going to be a difficult draw because they are a good side. But at this stage of the competition you would never get an easy draw."
