Chelsea, no time to cry

Jose Mourinho will search for answers after admitting his Chelsea side crumbled under pressure in tumbling out of the UEFA Champions League to Paris St Germain last Wednesday night.

The Blues twice allowed 10-man PSG to come from behind to draw 2-2 and win an ill-tempered last-16 tie on away goals at Stamford Bridge.

While Mourinho search for answers to this shock exit, he also insists there's no time for Chelsea to cry as they have to move on, look forward and concentrate on winning the English Premier League.

“It's not the moment to explain. We will analyse it. We need to react. We have a Premier League to win. I told that to the players. We lost a competition where even if we win today there are other big teams to beat.

“We have the Premier League to win and we are in a good situation. There's no time to cry. Move on, and look forward.”

The Chelsea manager also blamed his own players for failing to deal with their numerical advantage, wilting under expectations and conceding twice from set-pieces.

“When a team cannot defend two corners a team doesn't deserve to win,” said Mourinho. “We couldn't cope with the pressure. For them it was easy, two lines of four, counter-attack, waiting for the right moment. Mentally for them with 10 there is nothing to lose.”
