Experience of Chelsea players will help us against PSG - Mourinho

Jose Mourinho suggests the experience of his Chelsea team will hold them in good stead on Wednesday night.

The Blues host Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg at Stamford Bridge with the scoreline currently reading 1-1 from the initial bout in Paris last month.

Mourinho is going into the fixture with a calm mindset after being in this position a number of times in the past and he is confident the playing group will also see it that way.

"Experience helps you to sleep good tonight. Just for that, you feel comfortable to play - it's something that you do a lot of times," he said.

"So it's one more game in spite of it being a knockout game and a second leg.

"During the game, the players they play and we are speaking about teams with very good players and some of them are very comfortable to play at this level so I think it's more about that."
