"The most aggressive team we have played this season is PSG" says Mourinho

According to Goal.com

Jose Mourinho has taken a
swipe at Paris Saint-Germain
ahead of the second leg of
their Champions League
last-16 tie by claiming the
French champions are the
"most aggressive" team
Chelsea have faced this season.
Laurent Blanc's side travel to west London with the tie
finely poised after a 1-1 draw in Paris in mid-February.
Mourinho was unhappy with the treatment dished out to
Eden Hazard at Parc des Princes, with the Belgium
international being fouled a record nine times throughout
the game - though the referee issued just two yellow
cards to PSG players during the clash.
"The most agressive team we've played this season is
Paris Saint-Germain," the Chelsea boss told reporters on
Wednesday.
"I have to be fair, I thought an English team would never
be surprised by aggressive play because we have it in our
country.
"We've played against sides from the Championship in
the Cup, against teams from League One and
Shrewsbury [Town] from League Two, but the most
aggressive team was PSG.
"For me, that was a real surprise. With players of such
quality, I was expecting more football and less
aggression."
Mourinho also criticised the assertion that PSG
dominated the opening leg, claiming that they
"dominated in everything except the result".
"It depends on your concept of football. If dominate is
the number of chances, yes, Paris had more chances," he
said. "If dominate is to make foul after foul. Or to move
the ball without progression."
