Chelsea midfielder Deco believes that Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the teams that his side must overcome if they are to lift the Champions League trophy next May.
The west London club have qualified for the knockout stage and are currently at the summit of Group D, owing to three wins and a draw from their four outings on the European stage.
Speaking to Spanish newspaper AS, Deco said: "Teams such as Barcelona, who continue to play at a great level, Real Madrid, who have great players, and Milan, who are recovering, all have a chance of winning the tournament.
"We are in a good moment, we are playing good football. We have to maintain it and arrive at the end of the season like this."
Carlo Ancelotti's charges, who drew 2-2 with Atletico Madrid earlier in the week, will meet Manchester United over the weekend in a blockbuster clash in the Premier League.
