Mourinho talks the talk but PSG walks the walk in ousting Chelsea from Champions League

Ahead of his team's Champions League round of 16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, who had spent the week being boastful as ever, got to the crux of the matter. "A big team will be out of the competition in a couple of hours," he said.

Inarguable logic. But when he said it, the controversial Portuguese motor mouth probably hadn't imagined that it would be his. Yet it was. Even though his Blues spent two-thirds of the game with an extra man and then a half hour of extra time. At home. With the away goal in hand from the first leg, which had ended 1-1 in Paris.

After extra time, Chelsea was eliminated by the nouveaux riche French club. Two late goals, courtesy of defenders Gary Cahill and David Luiz, knotted the game at 1-1 after regulation. Then, Eden Hazard's 96th-minute penalty seemed to clinch it for Chelsea, but Thiago Silva's header in the 114th minute handed PSG the tie and the spot in the quarterfinals on away goals.

Had it not been for Zlatan Ibrahimovic's 31st-minute sending off, Paris Saint-Germain might well have won the game in normal time. PSG was unfortunate to lose its star striker after he and Oscar went into a 50-50 challenge hard. Zlatan caught the ankle of Oscar, who pipped him to the ball. Oscar rolled away in histrionics, even though his own lunge had been more vicious than Ibrahimovic's. Still, it was the big Swede who was ejected from the game.

Referee Bjorn Kuipers would soon bungle a second call. Just before halftime, Chelsea striker Diego Costa was taken down by his opposite number Edinson Cavani in PSG's box, but no whistle rung out. The aggrieved Spanish international punched the floor in frustration, like a toddler's temper tantrum. Mourinho laughed a big sarcastic laugh on the bench.

Before intermission, it had already become clear that Kuipers had lost control of the game. David Luiz and Costa, both Brazilians by birth, engaged in an extended battle, lowlighted by Luiz elbowing Costa in the face – which Kuipers missed.

In the second half, it stood to reason that Chelsea would ramp up the pressure and take advantage of its superior manpower. But the Blues were slow to act, instead looking more languid as the half wore on. Other than Willian's free kick, whipped at the near post rather than lifted it into the fray, which very nearly fooled goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu, they produced no danger to speak of.

Indeed, PSG, somehow still alive, made Chelsea uncomfortable with several clever moves and deft passes. On one such attack in the 58th minute, Cavani was sprung on a nice setup by Marco Verratti and Javier Pastore. The Uruguayan circumvented Chelsea goalie Thibaut Courtois but made the angle a tad tight on himself, whacking his finish on the empty goal off the near post. It pinged across the face of goal and, with nobody interfering, rolled out of bounds.

At length, Cahill put the Blues ahead, when he rammed home his half-volley after Costa miss-hit his own effort in the box in the 81st minute. But just five minutes later, PSG finally got the goal it deserved. Luiz, who played for Chelsea last season – and scored an own goal in this very same matchup last year, no less – lost Branislav Ivanovic on a corner and slammed his header in off the underside of the bar.

In extra time, Costa shoved Marquinhos down and should have been handed his second yellow card for that, but yet again, Kuipers was looking the other way.

And not much later, PSG's otherwise unimpeachable defender Thiago Silva inexplicably raised his right arm high on an aerial challenge with Kurt Zouma that he threatened to lose. The ball grazed his hand, as Zouma indeed won the header, and Chelsea was rightly awarded a penalty. Hazard wrong-footed Sirigu and rolled his shot home for the apparent winner.

But then Thiago Silva redeemed himself. First, he was denied from the corner when Courtois saved his header with a cat-like reflex. But on the next corner, he rose over John Terry and sent a looping header out of Courtois' reach.

Mourinho, who looked ever so nervous throughout the night, had said before the game – in his usual flurry of incendiary utterances – that he'd expected more soccer and less aggression from PSG in the first leg. This time around, it was Chelsea that delivered virtually no soccer to speak of but PSG that took the result.

And the final word.
