And you said you wouldn't celebrate! Jose Mourinho reacts to Inter Milan's winning goal on the touchline[LNB]Jose Mourinho returned to Chelsea in triumph last night and sent Carlo Ancelotti and his team crashing out of the Champions League. [LNB]Samuel Eto'o scored the only goal of a stormy game at Stamford Bridge to give Inter Milan a 3-1 aggregate win, but there were echoes of Chelsea's ugly demise at the hands of Barcelona last year. [LNB]Didier Drogba was sent off in the closing minutes after clashing with Thiago Motta and John Terry was seen to shout obscenities at the fourth official as he left the pitch at the end. [LNB]Mourinho said of Chelsea: 'This is a team that lost a semi-finalwith a goal that was not a goal, lost a semi-final on penalties, lost afinal on penalties, lost a semi-final in a game they should win 3-0with three penalties. This is the history of this club and theseplayers. It is a history of frustration. [LNB]'Tonight, theyfelt immediately that Inter were the best team and this bringsfrustration to great players. These are my players, my people but todayI was the enemy and the enemy won. [LNB]'I celebrated a lot inthe dressing room. It was a big victory for my team. I love Chelsea, Ilove this stadium, I love these people but I am a professional.[LNB] Sent off: Didier Drogba (centre) had a torrid time against Inter's robust defence[LNB]'Who knows, in the future I may coach another English team and Iwill come here again as an opponent.' Mourinho revealed he had textedTerry on the eve of the game to say 'someone would be sad'. [LNB]Chelsea'splayers complained bitterly about two penalties not given in the firsthalf, about Drogba's red card and a stamp by Dejan Stankovic on Alexwhich was missed by referee Wolfgang Stark.[LNB] [LNB]But Inter deserved their win and Ancelotti was dignified in defeat. He said: 'We were never fully in control. Inter put us under a lot of pressure, won the ball a lot in midfield and were dangerous on the break, so there were only short periods when we were in control. [LNB]'I want to say best wishes to Inter because I have nothing against Mourinho or against Inter.' [LNB]Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich walked alone across the pitch to the dressing room after the game as Inter fans sang Mourinho's name.[LNB] Winner: Eto'o (left) celebrates after scoring past Chelsea keeper Turnbull[LNB] Abramovich sacked Mourinho two-and-a-half years ago and brought Ancelotti to the club to win the European Cup. [LNB]Ancelotti added: 'I've worked for a long time in this environment and I know exactly what the expectations are. It's normal that a manager is going to come under pressure if he loses a few matches. My regret is we didn't play as well this evening as we did in the first leg.' [LNB]Mourinho added: 'Roman is a very intelligent man. He is not the same man today he was when he first came into football. I am sure he accepts the situation with class because he knows Inter were the best team.'
