Chelsea, I do not consider a favourite, because they have changed a lot."Last year we did not expect to fall to Lyon. We were better, but we did not show it. I am convinced that this year will be totally different. I'm happy to be playing them again, and am confident that we will win the tie."Ronaldo also played down his compatriot Mourinho's recent comments that the player will be the distinguished owner of five Ballons d'Or crowns in the course of his career.Ronaldo commented: "What I would like is many Champions Leagues, not Ballons d'Or.
