Jose Mourinho has taken a swipe at the way he was treated at Chelsea.

He felt Antonio Conte's Premier League triumph at Chelsea in 2016-17 was judged by different standards to his three over the course of two spells at Stamford Bridge.

"When I came to Chelsea for the second time and we were champions, we were champions when we were not the best team in the country," Mourinho said.

"To be champion when you are not the best team in the country you have to be more strategic than philosopher.

"And then, when Chelsea was champion again with Antonio Conte, Chelsea was a counter-attacking team – very defensive and phenomenal on the counter-attack.

"Once more they did it by the strategic point of view. But, because it was Antonio and not me, you didn't mention it."
