Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says his team deserved to advance to the Champions League semi-finals at the expense of Paris Saint-Germain.
The Blues beat the Ligue One champions 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night, with Demba Ba’s late strike propelling the Londoners through on the away goals rule following a 3-1 defeat in the first leg.
Mourinho said afterwards: “We did enough in the beginning of the second half to score before but we couldn’t. After that there was a contradiction of what they are and what they were saying yesterday that they wanted to do. They played counter-attack, closing everything and it was difficult for us to penetrate in the second part of the second half.”
He added: “Demba made a crucial finish for us and I think we deserved it.
“The team that decided to defend was punished and the team that gave everything with the heart deserved to go through to the semis.” (kickoffnigeria)
