Inter Milan hero Eto’o: Chelsea players bottled it
Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto'o says Chelsea players bottled Tuesday night's Champions League defeat.
Eto'o proved Inter's matchwinner at Stamford Bridge and was left unimpressed by Chelsea's performance.
Eto'o told The Sun: "I expected more from the Blues but think pressure and nerves affected their performance.
"I am so happy. I hadn't scored since December and this one was so important.
"I carried out Jose Mourinho's orders and, just like in last year's Champions League final for Barcelona against Manchester United, I was in the right place to score a vital goal.
"Mourinho's plans were perfect. No one could doubt our superiority. This match was sensational for me but I was sad about the red card for Drogba.
"I understand his frustration. This is another season when it is impossible for my brother Didi to win the Champions League."

PLS NOBODY SHOULD BLAME ROMAN IF NOT BCOS OF HIS MONEY MOURIHO WOULD NOT VE COME 2 CFC.SO LOOT AT IT DIS WAY
Achelseablue1970 (below) is absolutely right. I have supported United for over 30 yrs and have NEVER seen a tactician as good as Mourinho. Love him or hate him. If he sees things going wrong on the pitch he changes them INSTANTLY.....he doesn´t ¨wait for ten minutes and let´s see how it goes¨. By that time your team could be dead and buried in a high level game.
