Scoring that goal makes a big difference.[LNB]'Inter are a great side but we know we are in a good position and they are not Barcelona.[LNB]'That Barcelona side was probably one of the greatest teams ever.You had Samuel Eto'o and Ronaldinho in their prime, Deco is his prime.You could argue Xavi was in his prime as well and there was AndresIniesta coming in as a young player - some of the best players in themodern era.[LNB]'This game won't be like the Barcelona game, it will be a tight affair I am sure.'[LNB] Most of the pre-match headlines and stories have been hogged by Inter boss Jose Mourinho, who will be making an emotional return.[LNB] Celebration time: Solomon Kalou couldn't hide his delight after scoring for Chelsea against Inter last month[LNB]And Cole told the club's official website: 'Jose [Mourinho] was a massive person at Chelsea and the fans will give him a great reception which he deserves but they also need to realise that Carlo is our manager now and Roman in our owner and we will fight for them.[LNB]'Don't fall into the trap of making Inter Milan feel too welcome.'[LNB] Real Madrid step up Ashley Cole bid as Cheryl split takes it toll on Chelsea starMourinho returns to Chelsea with a taunt: 'I win the important games'Ancelotti backs rookie goalkeeper Turnbull to shine against Inter MilanCHELSEA FC
