Mertesacker: Mourinho Won't Be Happy To See Me


The German side will come up against Inter Milan, Panathinaikos and Anorthosis Famagusta in the first group stage of Europe's elite club competition, and although he suggested that a more glamorous group would have suited him better, Mertesacker is clearly looking forward to the prospect of squaring off a Mourinho-led side again.

He said: "We haven't landed in a cracker of a group but certainly every aspect of it is interesting.

"José Mourinho will have fond memories of me from our win against Chelsea at the Weser Stadium.

"We didn't exactly have things our own way against Panathinaikos in the past but we have a chance to make up for that now.

"Famagusta will be a completely new experience but we can't afford to underestimate them."
