"Dynamo are a good team" - Mourinho

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes Dynamo Kiev
could win the Europa League this season following
Wednesday's Champions League clash.

Mourinho's men triumphed 2-1 at Stamford Bridge as
Chelsea leapfrogged Kiev into second spot in Group G.

The Portuguese boss was impressed with Kiev's
performance in west London and believes they will challenge
for the title in Europe's second-tier club competition, should
they fail to make it out of the group.

"I have to say Dynamo are a very good team," Mourinho
said.

"I already told Rebrov and Sheva [Andrei Shevchenko]
because they were here together.

"This Dynamo is much better than the one I played against
with Inter in 2010. In the last 10 years you look at Russian
and Ukraine and you don't think the teams are very good but
it’s changing. To beat them is difficult.

"I knew it would be difficult to score and they are good on
the counter attack. They have five giants from set-pieces
and it's difficult to control them. I knew the risks but in the
first half we were very good and we deserved a different
result.

"In the last part of the game the normal tendency is that if
the game went on for another five or 10 minutes we would
score more goals because the game was open."

Mourinho added: "I hope they go to the Europa League,
which would mean we go to the Champions League last 16,
because their team in the Europa League will be a real
contender."
