Chelsea fans will never forgive me – Mourinho

(GSM) – Internazionale boss Jose Mourinho claims Chelsea fans will never forgive him after he crushed their Champions League dream.

Samuel Eto’o’s late winner secured Inter’s quarter-final ticket. To make things worse for Chelsea, Didier Drogba was sent off for kicking out at Thiago Motta late on.

However, while it must have been a sweet victory for Mourinho, having been sacked by owner Roman Abramovich after winning two Premier League titles, the former Chelsea manager tried to play down its significance.

He said: “It’s a victory as a group and a very important one for me as a coach, but not the victory of my life. That will be in the future.

“I’m so happy because of the way my team played. It was difficult for me to come here as an enemy where my ‘home’ is, here at Chelsea.

“Someone asked me if I would still be special if I lost here. Today I’m not so special for Chelsea supporters who will probably never forgive me.”
