Jose Mourinho was at pains to stress that the Super Cup final against Bayern Munich wasn't a grudge match between the two managers.
Chelsea touched down in Prague ahead of Friday's clash with their boss adamant that the only thing he was interested in was beating the Germans, and not getting one over Pep Guardiola.
The pair had a fractious relationship when they were in charge at Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, with the usually calm Guardiola visibly riled by his rival's media tactics.

That came to a head with an uncharacteristic 40-minute rant, complete with choice language, in the run-up to a Champions League semi-final. Madrid won the La Liga title a year later.

The first question posed at Stadion Eden on the eve of the match provoked Mourinho's anger.
The inquisitor asked former Real boss Mourinho why he found it difficult to win matches against Guardiola's Barca, pointing out the Portuguese has three wins from 15 games over his old adversary.
'Your statistics are wrong and very wrong,' Mourinho said.
