Match news
Jose Mourinho:
Mourinho says his strikeforce have helped us do well at home and abroad - 'these 3 strikers are very adaptable'.
''Experience helps to sleep good tonight, just for that. We feel comfortable. It's one more game."
The ex Madrid manager, "the most aggressive team we have played this
season - even factoring in lower-league opposition in cups is PSG".
"This season we have played teams from the Championship, League One and
League Two, but the most aggressive team was PSG.
Mourinho also said he was surprised how often PSG fouled Eden
Hazard in the first leg because they are a team with fantastic
players.
"though it is difficult to play against Zlatan he and his players are not focused on one player, rather the
whole team."
Jose believes the first-leg result leaves the tie in 'complete balance'
Lauren Blanc:
PSG boss on Chelsea striker Diego Costa,
"He likes contact, and provokes opposition players. That's part of his game".
"He really needs that to bring out the best in his performances. The most important
thing is to not get caught up in the way he plays."
"He will try to provoke a reaction. We need to stay calm, not get caught up in his game. We need to be as effective as possible in stopping him,"- PSG manager Lauren Blanc
Eight French nationals including three sportsmen and women, died in a helicopter crash in Argentina on Monday, PSG will be wearing black arm bands as a result of that.
