PSG tie not impossible says Chelsea's Mourinho

Chelsea are still a chance of reaching the Champions League semi-finals according to manager Jose Mourinho.

The Portuguese was critical after his side's 3-1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night but is still holding hope ahead of the quarter-final second leg in London next week.

"It's a difficult job [to reach the semi-finals] but not impossible," he told Sky Sports.

"They are the kind of team that with the players they have that out of nothing they can score goals. So we don't have an easy job.

"We are not a team full of talent to score lots of goals especially at this level but we never know. We have to try. We have to go with everything."

Ezequiel Lavezzi opened the scoring for PSG with a fine half-volley in the fourth minute before Eden Hazard responded for the Blues with a 27th-minute penalty but the second half saw David Luiz net an own-goal prior to Javier Pastore's sublime injury-time goal as Laurent Blanc's men came out on top.
