[Folami David]

Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho renew their long-standing rivalry when European champions Bayern Munich take on Europa League winners Chelsea in the Uefa Super Cup on Friday.
.
New Bayern coach Guardiola and Mourinho, back for a second stint at Chelsea, have tangled repeatedly in their careers especially when the Spaniard was at the helm at Barcelona and the outspoken Portuguese held the reins at Real Madrid.
.
Both clubs are unbeaten in their respective leagues this season but Mourinho knows his team will have their work cut out to repeat their 2012 Champions League final win over the Bavarians.
.
The Chelsea coach hailed Bayern's "fantastic" feat in landing a Champions League-Bundesliga-German Cup treble last season.
.
"Only great teams with a great mentality, with fantastic football qualities ... manage it," said Mourinho, who also captured a Champions League- Serie A-Italian Cup treble with Inter Milan in 2010.
.
"To play against the best team in the world last year ... is a big challenge for us. It is good for us to measure where we are in terms of playing against the best," he told www.uefa.com.
.
The Chelsea squad are still adapting to life under Mourinho, who left Real for Stamford Bridge in the close season to succeed Rafael Benitez.
.
The Londoners have had an extra day to prepare for the Super Cup after drawing 0-0 at Premier League title rivals Manchester United on Monday.
.
Mourinho can call on Brazil defender David Luiz for the first time this season following a hamstring injury while Spain playmaker Juan Mata could come back into the side after being left on the bench at Old Trafford.
