We live for nights like these - John Terry hails Chelsea character after improbable comeback . Chelsea captain John Terry hailed the teams character after the Blues pulled off the perfect comeback against Paris St Germain to book their place in the Champions League semi-finals. Strikes from substitutes Andre Schurrle and Demba Ba steered Jose Mourinhos side, 3-1 down in the quarter-final from the first leg in France, to the 2-0 home victory sufficient to send them through on away goals, with the tie finishing 3-3 on aggregate. Bas close-range effort bundled over the line with only three minutes of normal time remaining at a nervy Stamford Bridge. And defender Terry told ITV following the final whistle: I think everyone probably doubted that we would do it. But I think we showed great character, great desire and will to fight no matter what, and it paid off. Asked if he felt the game had been slipping away when it was still 1-0, Terry said: No - I thought at 1-0 we always had a chance. - [via London Evening Standard]
