Key Mourinho quotes after the game

Some key quotes in the post match conference after Chelsea beat Liverpool 1-0 in the Champions League semi-final first leg:

Mourinho was disappointed his side were not awarded a second-half penalty when Liverpool's Alvaro Arbeloa handled, although replays showed the incident took place well outside the area.

He said: "I don't understand why we don't have penalties when they are so clear.

"I don't think anybody can say it was not a penalty. It's happening and happening and happening.

Other quotes:

"I hope after the second leg we are not crying again about a big decision, like two years ago. I hope we do enough not to look back."

"Liverpool were very lucky with 1-0 - it could have been 5-0."

"I said they would try to kill him (Drogba) and they did. Everytime he got the ball they put him on the floor."

And best of all:

"Hopefully the referee will not make a stupid mistake like the last time we played Liverpool at Anfield. Liverpool should not need the referee to help them win a game of football."

And without a HINT of irony:

"Joe Cole was outstanding. He gave Zenden a very hard game and that is not easy."
