Chelsea boss does not fear failure as he sets focus on Premier League

Jose Mourinho is determined to quickly move on from Chelsea's Champions League exit.

The Premier League leaders drew 2-2 with Paris Saint-Germain in the Round of 16 second leg at Stamford Bridge which saw them eliminated on away goals after a 3-3 aggregate.

Mourinho was asked after the game whether or not he felt humiliated with the result as his side played 90 minutes of the extra-time clash with one additional player following Zlatan Ibrahmovic's red card.

"Humiliated? I didn't steal or go to jail. I lost a football match, I did my work the best I can. I have no words to describe what I feel, I just want to play on Sunday," said the Portuguese tactician.

"I want to play tomorrow. In football you win and lose, you have good days and bad days. But I don't have fear or desire to not play. All we can do now is try to win the Premier League. That's what I said to the players: 'Don't cry and see you tomorrow at 1 o'clock."
