Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech will not be underestimating MSK Zilina in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Slovakian minnows travel to Stamford Bridge to take on the Premier League champions in the opening game of Group F.
The Blues have also been paired with Marseille and Spartak Moscow in a group which Carlo Ancelotti's side is odds-on favourites to top.
Czech Republic international Cech is well aware of the threat the Slovak champions will bring after eliminating Sparta Prague in the play-off round.
"Zilina had to go through qualification and the fact they have made it into the group stages shows their quality," said Cech.
"Underestimating any team in the Champions League can only damage you.
"Matches against Zilina will certainly have a special atmosphere.
"Then we have Marseille, who are a traditional participant in the European cups, with a number of achievements too. And then there is Spartak Moscow.
"I think all the teams are playable. We don't have to do any crazy travels so we may be satisfied."
