Jose Mourinho backs Paris Saint-Germain for Champions League success

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said that he thinks Paris Saint-Germain can win the Champions League this season.

The Parisians beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 in the first leg of their last-16 tie and will be strong favourites to progress in the return fixture at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening.

"They are already in the quarter-finals because the result of the first leg kills any doubts," Mourinho told Yahoo.

"[They have] big players, great experience. The domestic league doesn't make them tired because they are champions and can control that without any problems. I think they can [win it]."

PSG are currently eight points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
