Liverpool have sent Chelsea crashing out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage twice in the last three years and their fans taunt the Londoners by insisting the Blues have no real history.

But while Mourinho accepts they cannot compete with Liverpool's European heritage, he told the club's official magazine: "Liverpool fans can continue to chant 'no history' at us but we continue to make it. They have their history, we have our history."

He continues to point out that the Merseysiders have not won the English title for 17 years and added that Chelsea made their mark in footballing folklore by winning the first FA Cup at the new Wembley.

He added: "They are a club with a history in Europe that Chelsea doesn't have, and their history is magnificent, but I think for 17 years they don't win one championship and we won two in the last three years.

"Of the 12 pieces of silverware in English football in the last three years, Chelsea won six, Liverpool two, Manchester United two and Arsenal two, so we won the same number of pieces of silverware that the other three clubs won all together.

"So I think we are going in the right direction.

"The FA Cup final was a special final, an historic one, more than a normal FA Cup final. It was also the end of a period when in three years, we won every competition in English football, so it was special.

"In the future a lot of people will do it but I was the first manager to lift the FA Cup at the new Wembley; John Terry was the first captain to lift it and so on.

"At that moment we made history and the way people celebrated was magnificent. A few days later I was in London and I could feel also for the fans the feeling was special. After two Premierships and two Carling Cups before, I think at the moment we won't change this FA Cup for anything."
