Jose Mourinho has said that Paris St Germain have been the dirtiest team Chelsea have played all season - more aggressive than League Two Shrewsbury Town.
Mourinho suggested that the way Laurent Blanc's players behaved in the 1-1 first leg draw of the Champions League last-16 match between the two sides in Paris was the opposite of the beautiful football he was expecting from them.
The Blues manager went as far as saying that the side Blanc has put together is one that uses foul play and is more aggressive than other teams Chelsea have played this season such as Shrewsbury and Bradford City.
"With players of such quality I was expecting more football and less aggression," he said. told reporters.
"I was surprised because a team with fantastic players was the team that was making foul after foul, was the team that was stopping Hazard with fouls all the time, was the team attacking the man in possession of the ball with two or three players and having some very aggressive action."

He added:"Even a player like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is a very technical player, was running back to tackle Hazard from behind to stop counter attacks. I thought an English team would never be surprised by aggressivity because of the aggressivity we have in our country.
"This season we have played teams in the cup competitions from the Championship, from League One, Bradford, from League Two, Shrewsbury, but the most aggressive was Paris St Germain."
