Mourinho praises defence duo

Jose Mourinho lauded the contributions of Thibaut Courtois and Branislav Ivanovic after Chelsea’s 1-1 draw at Paris St Germain put the Blues in pole position to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals.

Serbia defender Ivanovic was one of five players who took a limited part in training ahead of the tie but scored a vital away goal at Parc des Princes, where goalkeeper Courtois excelled after returning at the expense of Petr Cech.
