Chelsea felt frustrated because we were superior – Inter’s Mourinho

Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho felt his team frustrated Chelsea as they went on to win 3-1 on aggregate to progress to the Champions League quarter-finals.

Samuel Eto’o’s 79th minute goal was enough for the Italian side to push through from the Round of 16 and Mourinho believed his side were better prepared in every aspect of the match at Stamford Bridge.

"I think everything was superior," he told Sky Sports. "I don't think it was tactics, it was attitude on the pitch.

"They (Chelsea) had reactions of frustration, of a team that felt the opposition was superior. Our team started the second half in an incredible way.

"We were the best team by far. Chelsea is a great team, we know that and we came here knowing very well the way they play. We knew that if you don't control the game by having the ball you have no chance.

"Every player performed at the highest level to win here, this must be almost a perfect performance. We deserve so much this victory, we were the best team.”

And Mourinho now had his sights set on whoever they would meet next but admitted any team they come up against will be a big test.

"I learned that we can beat anyone because Chelsea is not just anyone - they are one of the best,” he added.

"We can win at any stadium, but there are eight good teams (left) in the competition, and we could lose against anyone too."
