Paris Saint Germain defender Thiago Silva has hit out Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho for his disrespectful comments toward the Ligue 1 champions in the build-up to their Champions League round of 16 tie. The Ligue 1 outfit booked their ticket for the quarter-finals on Wednesday following a 2-2 draw after extra time at Stamford Bridge, which saw them progress on the away goals rule after the 1-1 first-leg draw at the Parc des Princes.
Thiago Silva went from villain to hero in the return, conceding a penalty in extra time after handling the ball inside his own area, only to then make amends by scoring the goal that eventually saw his side through - and he was quick to take a dig at Mourinho after the final whistle following the latter's comments that he was happy to have been paired with PSG after the draw.
"This does not feel like taking revenge, but Chelsea were not showing us the respect we deserve, Mourinho in particular," Thiago Silva told RMC.
"He said that he was happy to be paired with PSG because if was pretty close to London and that it was easy for the supporters to come over...
"But I don't think that's the reason why he was happy with the draw. He said it because they beat us last season."
