Laurent Blanc wary of Jose Mourinho ‘heat’ before Champions League clash

Paris St Germain boss Laurent Blanc will urge his players to keep their composure amid provocation from Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho in tonight’s Champions League last-16 clash at the Parc des Princes.

Mourinho, who has created a siege mentality at Chelsea in recent weeks after suggesting there is a “clear campaign” against his side, claimed victory in last season’s quarter-final tie and will be aiming for a repeat.

“I know Jose Mourinho a bit and I know he’ll raise the heat,” said Blanc, speaking ahead of the first leg in Paris.
