Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho suggests Paris Saint-Germain were extremely aggressive in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg last month.
The Blues drew 1-1 with Laurent Blanc's side at Parc des Princes on February 17 in what Mourinho felt was a strong tackling display from the home team.
Aheasd of the return bout at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, Mourinho hit out at Blanc's side for using more aggression and less football.
"I was surprised. In that game, I was surprised," said Mourinho.
"The team with fantastic players was the team with fouls, making foul after foul, stopping (Eden) Hazard with fouls all the time.
"They were attacking the man in possession of the ball with two or three players and having some very aggressive actions. A team where even a player like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a typical attacking player, was coming back and tackling Hazard from behind to stop counter-attacks.
"I have to be fair that I thought that an English team would never be surprised by aggression. Of course, aggression we have in our country.
"During our time this season we played a few times with teams from the Championship and League One in the cups. We played against Shrewsbury from League Two also in the cup. But the most aggressive team was Paris St Germain.
"With players of such quality I was expecting more football and less aggression.
"In terms of chances, PSG had more than us. If to dominate is to stop the opponent playing by making foul after foul, yes they dominated. If to dominate is to have the ball and move the ball without progression, then yes, they also dominated. I think they dominated in everything except the result."
