Jose Mourinho: Chelsea will flourish in "natural habitat"

Jose Mourinho believes that Chelsea will be in their "natural habitat" at Parc de Princes on Wednesday for the Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Blues travel to the French capital for their first-leg quarter-final encounter off the back of a loss, having slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat away to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

However, the 51-year-old fully expects his troops to shake off their domestic woes and revel in the European environment this week.

He told reporters: "I don't think I need to do a lot now. Paris is the kind of match they feel comfortable to play.

"A big match, great stadium, opponents with top quality, a profile of referee that normally stops a lot, doesn't let aggression come into the game.

"I think they will be fine, they will be in their natural habitat in that match so I believe they can do a good match there."

Wednesday's clash is scheduled to kick off at 7.45pm.
