Blanc: Chelsea's Mourinho has respect for PSG

Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc feels Jose Mourinho has a healthy respect for his club.

Mourinho's Chelsea were knocked out of the Champions League by PSG on Wednesday night despite the French side playing 90 minutes of the extra-time Round of 16 second leg meeting with ten men.

Blanc was on cloud nine after his side drew 2-2 at Stamford Bridge, to win on away goals after a 3-3 aggregate, and felt that Mourinho understood the magnitude of his team's performance.

"We won't forget this game. At the end of the match, everyone came together. You'd like to freeze time to appreciate it fully," said Blanc.

"Jose Mourinho came to congratulate me and I really feel like he has respect for PSG."
