Chelsea boss Mourinho: We were lucky, but I'm happy

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admits they were lucky to earn their 1-1 draw at Champions League opponents PSG. The Blues earned the first-leg result after Branislav Ivanovic's header was canceled out by PSG striker Edinson Cavani.

When asked whether Chelsea were fortunate to draw, he said: "When you see the performance of our goalkeeper you have to say yes, he made two or three important saves in the game.

"Sometimes people speak about the players when they are injured and do not play. There are injured players who play, they don't train to play. I had five players in this game who did not train since Everton. We felt that a little.

"I am happy with the result because two legs is now one leg with everything to be decided at Stamford Bridge."
