Chelsea defender Luiz proud of PSG performance

Chelsea defender David Luiz was proud of his performance in victory over Champions League opponents PSG.

Luiz has struggled to break into Jose Mourinho's first-choice defence but instead has convinced the manager to field him in defensive midfield, performing with aplomb.

The Brazilian said: "Everybody knows when I'm on the pitch I give everything and play with my heart, but everybody played with the same spirit.

"I watched the (PSG) game back at home afterwards and it was fantastic to see every player working hard, wanting the ball and helping each other.

"I was happy with my performances in both legs; when you win people look at the game in a different way but that's football, it's about results, not performances."
