Jose Mourinho has spent the entire season bemoaning his striker options, but it was one of those forwards who bagged the clincher as Chelsea made a comeback to knock PSG out of the Champions League.

The Blues are now in the semis and with Mourinho in charge, they cannot be ruled out.

But can they go all the way and repeat the feats of the 2012 side?

ESPN and Irish Examiner football writer Miguel Delaney joined us on the line after tonight's game and although he still expects Bayern Munich to come out on top, he is not ruling Chelsea out completely.

"I still think Bayern will. On pure football terms, they are the best team in Europe. That can be irrelevant in the nuances of a knockout. I still think Chelsea are a little bit short but the one thing I would say is that Mourinho is one of the few managers that can come up with something to disrupt Bayern," said Miguel.  

Miguel also feels tonight's game was a "tactical defeat" for PSG manager Laurent Blanc rather than a clear-cut victory for Mourinho.
