Mourinho's side were handed the simplest task of the English sides, as they were put in a group with German side Schalke, Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon and Maribor of Slovenia.
And the Chelsea boss was quick to tell his colleague that he was satisfied with the prospect.
Barnard said: 'He texted me to say he was happy. Would you rather be in the groups with the other English clubs? You have got to be happy with that.'
Horst Heldt, Schalke sporting director insisted however they would be out for revenge.
He said: 'Our aim is the same as in recent years: We want to get through the group stage. We still have a score to settle with Chelsea, as we lost both matches to them last season.'
