"Barca shouldn't fear Mourinho"

Former Barcelona defender Juliano Belletti thinks his old club have no reason to fear Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho.

Belletti played at the Nou Camp for three seasons from 2004-2007 during which he won the Champions League (2006) and two La Liga titles (2004/05, 2005/06).

He moved to Chelsea on a three year deal in 2007, but still holds his former team in high esteem.

In comments on Barca TV, he said: "This [Barcelona] team have shown themselves to be worthy champions and what's more they've done it playing brilliant football."

"I don't think they need to fear any other team, they just need to focus on themselves."

Belletti also played under Mourinho at Stamford Bridge and was full of praise for the Portuguese.

"He's a winner, you have to give him that. He won everything in Portugal, in England and now in Italy," he said.

"I was only under him for a few weeks at Chelsea, but I learnt a lot from him. He's a very smart guy."
