Laurent Blanc has no mind games to play with Jose Mourinho

Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc insists that he has no mind games to play with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho as they prepare to do battle in the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has insisted that he has no mind games to play with Jose Mourinho as his side prepare to face Chelsea in the next round of the Champions League.

Mourinho appeared to be trying to psych out his opponent following the recent knockout-stage draw by suggesting that he had wanted to face the Parisians all along.

"Did Mourinho win the psychological battle? If he wins a point, it is because he's playing a game. I have no game to play with Jose," said Blanc, according to FourFourTwo.

"We know him. We know him very well. You [the media] like that, you like his quotes. That's it. He's very strong in this aspect but not only [that].

"He had done the math as we did I am sure and he knew the teams he could meet. He knows Paris was one of them and he thought, 'I will come with my little quote'."

The two clubs are due to meet in the first leg on February 17 at the Parc des Princes.
