LONDON. — Jose Mourinho believes that Chelsea have made progress this season, but his abiding memory will be of the moment he lost his unbeaten home record in the English Premier League.
Manchester City’s mid-week victory over Aston Villa confirmed that Chelsea will go into their final match of the campaign at Cardiff City on Sunday knowing that their title challenge is over.
It means that Mourinho will finish his first season back at Stamford Bridge empty-handed after his side exited the Champions League at the semi-final stage and fell short in the domestic cups.
The manager, though, believes the club has moved forward, despite the lack of silverware, although he admitted that this was not a season to celebrate given Chelsea’s record of success in recent years.
Asked to select his stand-out moment, Mourinho picked Sunderland’s 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge last month, which brought his 78-game unbeaten home league run with Chelsea to an end. — AFP.
