Jose Mourinho: 'Pressure too much for Chelsea'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho admits that his side did not cope with the "pressure" while trying to beat 10-man Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Jose Mourinho has admitted that his Chelsea side felt "pressure" while trying to beat 10-man Paris Saint-Germain in extra time in the Champions League this evening.

The 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge meant that the tie finished 3-3 on aggregate, but the French champions go through on away goals despite playing most of the match without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was shown a red card in the first half.

The manager told Sky Sports News: "I want to discuss why we lost with the players in a calm way. I want to know what they felt on the pitch and try to find conclusions. Our performance was not good enough. The opponent was stronger than us, they coped better with the pressure of the games.

"Because they had 10 men we felt more the pressure of winning and they had nothing to lose. We couldn't cope with that, we concede two goals in two set pieces, that is difficult to accept.

"Last season we lost in Paris 3-1 and had one direction to go, that was without any pressure. Today with the 1-1, it was a dangerous result. We tried to win but the moment we had 10 men we felt too much that pressure."

Gary Cahill and Eden Hazard both gave Chelsea leads on the night, but David Luiz and Thiago Silva added the decisive away goals.
