Atletico Madrid defender Miranda has said that the side do not fear Chelsea ahead of their Champions League semi-final first leg.
Los Rojiblancos knocked out La Liga rivals Barcelona in their quarter-final tie earlier this month, and the Brazilian centre-back believes that his side go into the game without any trepidation.
He told The Guardian: "Some people seemed too surprised that we overcame Barcelona, as if Atletico had suddenly crept up from nowhere this season. I find that a bit odd.
"With all due respect to the great manager Jose Mourinho is, we need to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible. I don't see why we have to be afraid of Chelsea if we didn't fear Real Madrid [when Mourinho was in charge there].
"They are a great team but so were Barcelona. They are going to have to want the place in the final more than we do."
Atletico are currently top of La Liga.
