Real Madrid ace wants to avoid Chelsea in the Champions League

 Chelsea under Jose Mourinho have become a team to avoid, according to Real Madrid shot-stopper Iker Casillas.

Real Madrid idol Iker Casillas has said that he would prefer not to meet Chelsea in the Champions League as his side bid to become the first team to win the competition two years in a row since its reform.

The Spanish international has regained his number one spot after a previous lengthy tussle with Diego Lopez which started during Jose Mourinho’s tenure at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The duo simply didn’t get along, and their fractious relationship caused a number of players at Madrid to take sides – no more so than Casillas and now Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso.

 Regardless of Mourinho’s so-called controversial personality, there is little denying his reputation as a world class coach evident by the Blues’ fabulous change in fortunes from the previous campaign.

The West Londoners currently top the Premier League table and in their quest to claim a unique quadruple they have become a team to fear, even for the reigning European and World club champions.
