"Porto" team could celebrate the first place in the Champions League Group G, or they might even have to transfer to the Europa League tournament.
Both scenarios are possible, so the Portuguese are preparing for a decisive battle against the "Chelsea" team from London. "Porto" cannot relax for a second, as both clubs (10 points each) are being chased by Kiev's "Dynamo" (8 points), who will face the absolute underdog Tel Aviv's "Maccabi" (0 points) at home.
Before the crucial match, "Chelsea" once again shocked their fans by losing to "Bournemouth" in the Premier League, but "Porto" goalkeeper Iker Casillas urges his teammates not to let their guard down.
"We don't intend to just focus on defense, as it would be disastrous and almost guarantee a defeat. We will do everything to stay in the Champions League," the veteran said.
"We played well in the group, but suffered a painful defeat at home against Kiev's 'Dynamo.' It was the worst match of the season and now we will have to make an effort to keep our hopes alive in Europe.
Mourinho is a coach who always wants victory, and now he faces a meeting against his former club. However, we are determined to make our opponents struggle at the 'Stamford Bridge' stadium and progress to the next stage.
"Chelsea" is not showing the same level as in recent seasons, but their lineup is excellent and capable of defeating any European club," Casillas said.
