Jose Mourinho could not resist the temptation to have a dig at Iker Casillas after the Champions League defeat of Porto, telling his former Real Madrid goalkeeper to focus on his future in the Europa League.

The 52-year-old endured a high-profile spat with the Spanish star at the Santiago Bernabéu – a development which many attribute to his acrimonious departure.

Speaking to Spanish media at full-time at Stamford Bridge, the former Inter Milan boss was asked if there are any underlining issues between the pair.

“No problem,” Mourinho replied. “I’ve done my job and he has done his, and he has done well. Now Casillas can win the only trophy he hasn’t won: the Europa League.”

Marcano Sierra’s unfortunate own goal was added to by Willian in the second-half as the Blues sealed top spot in Group G, knocking their guests into third-place.

But Mourinho doesn’t believe his side are among the favourites to win the tournament despite being among the top seeded clubs in Monday’s round of 16 draw.

“Every team finishing second wants to play us or Zenit St Petersburg,” the Portuguese added.

“Every team doesn't want to play Barcelona, they don't want to play Real Madrid, they don't want to play Atletico, they don't want to play Bayern Munich.”
