One year ago, former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho made his famous speech about omelettes and within a matter of days, the outspoken Portuguese manager whisked himself away from Stamford Bridge for the last time. Mourinho's Chelsea opened last season's Champions League campaign with an uninspired 1-1 home draw against Rosenborg Trondheim - a far cry from the 4-0 hammering this season's side handed out to Girondins Bordeaux on Tuesday.
Mourinho's eggs remarks implied he could not buy the players he wanted for his team and that Chelsea were suffering as a result. He departed two days later. However, under his successor Avram Grant, Chelsea did reach last season's Champions League final and were only a penalty kick away from becoming European champions. They also only narrowly failed in their attempt to regain the Premier League title, so despite Mourinho's protests, he had left behind a very strong squad of players. Under new coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, Chelsea's opening salvo in their quest for a first Champions League title left the Brazilian as unsatisfied Mourinho ever was despite their convincing win over feeble French opponents.
