'Winning at PSG is not magic!' Jose Mourinho takes sly dig at Thomas Tuchel's time in France, claiming 'the WORST striker in the Premier League would start at any Ligue 1 club except PSG'... ahead of Tottenham boss facing Chelsea manager tonight

Jose Mourinho has underplayed Thomas Tuchel's two-year stint at Paris Saint-Germain by criticising the standard of football in France, insisting 'winning at PSG is not magic!'

The two managers will meet for the first time this evening as Tottenham host Chelsea in the Premier League, with both sides level in the table on 33 points.

Tuchel, who took over from Frank Lampard last week and was sacked as PSG boss in December, lauded Mourinho's managerial quality yesterday and while Mourinho was also full of praise for his opposite number, the Spurs boss did take a sly dig at the level in Ligue 1 compared to the Premier League.
