Last week Chelsea left Paris with their heads in their hands, thinking it was all but over, after losing 3-1 to PSG. Jose Mourinho insisted his team would still progress, and the confident coach proved correct, as usual. They needed two goals, without conceding, to progress, and they got the 2-0 win, which sees them join Real Madrid in the semi-final draw.

It looked like things had gone from bad to worse when star man Eden Hazard left the game due to injury, however, his replacement, Andre Schurrle, changed the game and grabbed a goal, meaning Chelsea needed one goal to progress. They battled and battled and with only three minutes remaining it looked like it wouldn't come, but Demba Ba scrambled the ball home, ensuring his Chelsea team would win, if they could hold on the final few minutes.

It finished 3-3 on aggregate, but Chelsea progressed because of their one away goal in Paris. It's another masterful tactical display by Jose, and it's got the world wondering if Chelsea can win the Champions League. Both Chelsea and Jose have won the competition recently, but never together, so that would complete both of their goals.

There's nobody quite like Mourinho, as shown with his sideline run to give instructions after Ba's goal. He may be arrogant at times, and he may bend the rules, but when it comes down to it, Jose Mourinho is one of the greatest managers soccer has ever seen, but can he add more glory to his resume this season?
