Claims Paris Saint-Germain game will motivate them
Gary Cahill had rather staggered from the turf while the majority in this arena roared in gleeful disbelief, his manager at his side to offer words of encouragement amid the din. The centre-half would go on to say "it feels like the end, that it is over" in choking confirmation of the death of a title challenge. There have been so many unscripted twists and turns to this pursuit that it is hard to be so definitive just yet, but the sentiment reflected the mood.
José Mourinho's gee-up was a response to Cahill's endeavours over the preceding contest, even in a first league defeat to Crystal Palace in 24 years and a first loss endured by the Portuguese in 54 games overseeing Chelsea, Internazionale and Real Madrid against newly-promoted opposition. "I told him he was one of the guys who shouldn't be on the floor," said the manager. "He's one of the guys who should walk to the dressing room with pride that he gave everything. If someone has to sit on the floor with disappointment it should not be those who gave everything and can take no blame."
