FC Porto icon Paulo Futre was furious following reports that Chelsea's players celebrated with delight when the two sides were drawn together in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The Primeira Liga team shocked Juventus in the last-16 to get this far, but are considered the rank outsiders of the clubs left to go all the way in the tournament.
The Blues, meanwhile, progressed past Atletico Madrid, and were allegedly happy to have avoided the likes of favourites Manchester City and Bayern Munich in the last-eight draw.
Futre appeared on Portuguese TV channel CMTV recently to give his reaction to the match-up between Porto and Chelsea - and said he was livid with the reported joy from Thomas Tuchel's side.
And he has urged the Porto players to use it as motivation to go and cause another surprise in the competition.
"Chelsea players celebrated when they heard that they had drawn Porto," Futre said. "How did I know? It’s in the English press and I called later to confirm.
"FC Porto players have to run like never before in these two games. Do you know why? Because Chelsea think they have already won the tie. They celebrated!
"When I spoke to the source I was disgusted and I would give anything to play against Chelsea .
“FC Porto players now have to give their all on the pitch, because Chelsea think they are already in the semi-finals. They celebrated in the morning when they saw they got FC Porto.
"Porto can get through, but they have to sweat blood.”
The first leg of the quarter-final tie between the pair will be played in Portugal on April 7, with the return in London on April 13.
And the winners will take on the victors between Liverpool and Real Madrid in the semis as they begin to dream of going all the way and winning the showpiece final in Istanbul in May.
