Anybody got the direct quotes of his post-match interview from yesterday, or even better, a video link?

‘They deserved to win,’ he said. ‘When a team cannot defend two corners and concedes two goals from a corner a team doesn’t deserve to win.
‘We couldn’t cope with the pressure of playing with one player more and playing at home. For me it was a surprise.
‘For them it was easy with 10 men – defensive organisation, two lines of four, Cavani in attack, waiting for the right moment at a corner or from a mistake. Mentally they had nothing to lose. I know that feeling having played with 10 men in the Champions League.
‘They were experienced, they were good. We deserved to be punished.’
PSG played a total of 90 minutes with 10 men after Ibrahimovic’s red card
‘The players felt the responsibility of the game too much especially when the opposition had 10 men. Clearly some of the players couldn’t cope with that. The individual performances were not good enough.
‘There was no accumulation of matches; there was a normal period of training using the same methodology that has pushed us to be top of the league since day one. Apart from Matic who trained only one day, every player was training normally. It’s obviously not a physical situation, that’s not the reason.
‘When you concede two goals from two corners it’s even more evidence of what I’m saying. It’s about lack of concentration, it’s about lack of responsibility to cope with the markers and the space you have to control.’
Mourinho was asked what emotions he felt
‘I’m disappointed but I always try to be pragmatic. When the opposition was better than us the first feeling is that we deserved to lose.
‘To analyse the situation is the next step. We need to react. We have a Premier League to win. I told that to the players. We lost a competition where even if we had won today we would have had many stages to get through and good teams to beat.
‘We are in a good situation. It’s not time to cry; it’s also not time to laugh. It’s time to analyse what happened.
‘We must come here on Sunday to the same stadium, and the same players have to go on to the pitch and make one more step towards winning the Premier League, because if we win the Premier League and the Capital One Cup it’s still a fantastic season for us.
‘No time to cry. Move on, and look forward.’
Mourinho gave his verdict on the red card and the penalty not given to Diego Costa
‘I was very far from the Ibrahimovic situation and I couldn’t see it. I spoke with him after the game, and when he speaks with me he’s always honest. He would tell me if there was a reason for a red card. He was very disappointed. If that’s the case I hope they can minimise the mistake and let him play in the quarter-finals because if he did nothing wrong he deserves that.
‘It was a clear penalty on Diego Costa. Once more I think it’s a waste of time and money to have officials behind the goal because normally they do nothing. If he cannot see a penalty 10 metres in from him where it’s completely clear it’s a waste of time and money.’
David Luiz was not shown a red card for an off-the-ball incident involving Diego Costa
‘David’s elbow I didn’t see, but when UEFA gives him the man of the match I have to believe there was no elbow because I can’t believe UEFA would give man of the match to someone who made an aggression.
‘Because they cannot give us the penalty, maybe they can do what is fair from the disciplinarian point of view and suspend David and take the red card off Ibra and let him play in the quarter-finals.’
Next up is Southampton at home this weekend
‘It’s a pity we don’t play tomorrow. In football you win, you lose, you have good and bad days, but something I never had was fear or a lack of desire to not be in a match or a competition. I want to play Sunday and from now until then I have to read the situation, feel the players and feel the ones that are ready for that.
‘I repeat we have the most difficult championship in Europe to win. We have 11 matches to play, and we want very much to do that. The only thing we can do about the Champions League now is try to win the Premier League to be in the top [seeding] group next season.
‘That was my message for the players. Don’t cry, don’t smile. See you tomorrow at one o’clock. Let’s go for Sunday.’

He said in press conference this morning that he hopes City will kick us out of the Champions league on wednesday.
People's reactions are funny though. Hilarious how some get abused by what this douche says even though it's very predictable as you said.I don't remember the last laugh time I really laughed at any of his comments. The guy is just as predictable as it goes. Even Dr. House got boring after a few seasons being an ass.
"for the honour of english football"
He is such a bullshitter. He just wants to see us lose
You can hope but they don't stand a chanceActually it suits us if City knock you guys out because they have more games to play since we got KO'd. I really dislike City but I'm almost rooting them on to win purely out of giving them more games to play during the run in for the league.

He's totally unaccountable to anyone at Chelsea, most sensible people stopped listening to him a long time ago. Only some elements int he english press still hold him up as some sort of messiah.- "PSG had it easy with 10 men"
- complaining about the ref when his team got an undeserved man extra, a penalty (clear one though), and Diego Costa staying on the pitch
-"EPL toughest european league"
- blaming everyone but himself.
-no mention whatsover about Blanc (guy he worked with in Barcelona)
Whata lowlife of a manager. Must be fun for Chelski fans to make up excuses for him in order to feel comfortable with him managing their club.
