Mourinho ready to swim with sharks

Jose Mourinho insists Chelsea will show no fear when it dives into the shark-infested waters of the Champions League last 16.

Mourinho's squad got back on track with a 3-1 win over Sporting Lisbon in its Group G finale at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday to erase the bitter taste of its first defeat of the season at Newcastle last weekend.

As group winner, the Blues will be pitted against one of big-spending French club Paris St. Germain, Italian champion Juventus, Swiss side Basel, Germany's Bayer Leverkusen or Shakhtar Donetsk of the Ukraine in Monday's draw for the knockout stages of Europe's elite club competition.
