Jose Mourinho hails "positive result" against Paris Saint-Germain

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said that his side's 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League last 16-tie is a "positive" result.

The Blues took the lead thanks to Branislav Ivanovic's first-half header, but an effort from Edinson Cavani shortly after the break means that the teams will head into next month's second leg on level terms.

"We could have lost, so I think the result is a positive one," he told ITV Sport.

"I don't say very good because it depends on the result of the second leg but it is a positive result against a very good team with fantastic technical players. It was a difficult match.

"I am happy with the result because two legs is now one leg with everything to be decided at Stamford Bridge."

Chelsea will return to Premier League action on Saturday with a home clash against Burnley.
