Chelsea vs FC Basel May 2, 2013


Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez has refused to discuss the prospect of Jose Mourinho rejoining the Blues.
Real Madrid boss Mourinho hinted at a possible return on Tuesday, saying he plans to be "where people love me to be" next season.
But Benitez, busy preparing for Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg against FC Basel, insisted: "It's not my business."

Chelsea won the first leg 2-1 in Switzerland, but the build-up to their return clash with Basel has been dominated by Mourinho's comments.
Following Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final defeat by Borussia Dortmund, the Portuguese said: "I know in England I am loved. I know I am loved by some clubs, especially one."
Some perceived those comments to mean the 50-year-old would be returning to Stamford Bridge, where he remains the club's most successful manager with two Premier League titles and three domestic cup wins.
As well as targeting Europa League success, Benitez said his focus was on qualifying for the Champions League.

"We know it's our priority and we'll try to do it," said the former Liverpool and Valencia manager. "I like to think in a positive way. We will be there."
Chelsea squad to play FC Basel: Cech, Turnbull, Hilario, Ivanovic, Bertrand, Luiz, Terry, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Ramires, Oscar, Mata, Mikel, Moses, Lampard, Hazard, Torres, Benayoun, Marin, Ake, Ferreira.
