Oh Jesus.
Benfica boss Jorge Jesus is mighty pissed off. A lot of sour grapes, but entertaining comments nonetheless.
Quote:
"I wanted to congratulate my players because they played against Chelsea and the referee," Jesus told Sport TV after the game.
"We were defeated by details which have nothing to do with either club.
"Maxi Pereira's red card and the penalty make no sense. We do not understand how decisions like these are made in the quarter-finals.
"We were clearly damaged by the referee."
"We were better than Chelsea in Lisbon and here. We did not lose this game because Chelsea were better, because they were not," Jesus added.
"Even with 10 men, we were always the better team. We always believed we could turn the score around.
"We had little time to score the second goal, but we always believed we could do it. We were surprised in the last minutes because of the risks we needed to take."
Chelsea will now meet Barcelona in the semi-finals, and Jesus has no doubt that the Catalan club will reach the tournament decider.
"We have defeated better sides than Chelsea in the Champions League," the 57 year-old-said.
"When you reach the quarter-finals, anything is possible, but Chelsea will have no chance against Barcelona.
"We are the ones who deserved to play against Barca."
