RAFA BENITEZ insists Jose Mourinho will have wasted Roman Abramovich’s megabucks if Chelsea fail to grab Champions League glory.
Liverpool chief Benitez taunted his arch-rival by saying: “Chelsea have spent millions and millions, they need to win trophies.”
The Kop boss reckons the heat is on the Blues to conquer Europe as they are now five points behind Manchester United in title race with three games left.
Going into tomorrow’s Euro semi-final second leg against Mourinho’s men at Anfield, Benitez added: “If you spend this amount of money it’s to win trophies.
“That means if Chelsea can’t win the league now they will be under real pressure.”
The Reds trail 1-0 from last week’s first leg but Rafa added: “When you play against Chelsea, who have spent more money than anyone else in the world in the last five years, we must be calm and say ‘OK, if we can beat them, perfect — but if we can’t we’ll do our best’.”
He added: “They are favourites. If you analyse the last five years and the value of each player then we must be the underdogs.
“But if we play at our best level we can beat them.”
