Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has welcomed the support of the home crowd during the Champions League win over Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Despite the recent struggles in the Premier League, Blues supporters were in full voice at Stamford Bridge during the comfortable 4-0 win over the Israeli club.

Mourinho said after the win: "I forgot the feeling. For so long we don't win a game, so good, a good feeling."

"I am a fantastic manager when I win matches and I am a fantastic manager when I lose matches."

"I prefer that than they say 'Mourinho out' and they boo me and so on," he added.

"It shows they don't read papers or they don't have short memories. If they don't read papers they support me. If they don't have short memories, they support me.

"We won four Premier Leagues, three with him and one with his team. This guy is not bad. Let's support the guy. We have a chance to win the fifth."
