Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has cranked up the war of words with Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho ahead of their Champions League semi-final. Mourinho has already claimed Liverpool will be favourites as they are only challenging for the Champions League. But Benitez said: "We were good friends until we started winning, then he started changing his mind. "It's the same with the managers of the top sides. He has good relationships with managers of teams he beats." He added: "He fights with the managers of the top sides. He has already started it with us, yesterday!"
