Jose Mourinho: 'I'd forgotten winning feeling'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that he had forgotten what it felt like to win prior to their Champions League victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv.

The defending Premier League champions went into Wednesday night's match off the back of suffering three defeats in five domestic games, which had led to criticism from some quarters of the Portuguese coach.

However, the Blues brushed aside their Israeli opponents 4-0 at Stamford Bridge to return to winning ways.

"I forgot the feeling. For so long we don't win a game, so good, a good feeling," Mourinho told BBC Sport.

Chelsea face London rivals Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
