I see Mourinho is now spreading his charm to the fans.
Chelsea are, under no circumstances whatsoever, underdogs against PSG. Any suggestion otherwise is utter bollocks.
I like that ethos.
And in a way, I think we possibly are. Slight underdogs, not huge, just slight. PSG are a very, very good side. Organised defensively, good quick attacking midfield, especially on the counter, and utterly lethal up front.
Sure we're at home in the second leg which I prefer, though.
Chelsea have won the Champions League and have won the EPL numerous times, have a manager that has done the same and are playing a team from a league which is nowhere near as strong as; England, Germany or Spain.
Chelsea are the favourites and if PSG won it would be an upset....but Mourinho wouldn't want anyone thinking that.

We have, haven't we 
The latter is a little irrelevant. We all know this PSG team is beastly, from top to bottom, and on the bench. I mean sure, the league is pants, but then so is Bayern's at the moment. Oddly, those two leagues are probably on par. One/two teams dominating, and only one or two teams with utter classy players.

Aren't PSG shorter odds to win with most bookies?
IMO, Chelsea, Real and Bayern will win, really not sure on Barca game. I think they may nick it based on 2 legs, AM will give them a good run for their money tho!!

Yeah, same with what I'm seeing ref PSG. I just think Chelsea's ability to play boring (tactical/clever) football will help them over 2 legs.

German and French leagues are on par

In terms of currently there are only one or two purely outstanding football sides in the whole league, or did you not get that?
PSG/Monaco
Bayern/Borussia (yes, Borussia aren't second, but they certainly would be without the injuries and clearly they're basically the second best team in Germany, and haven been over the last few years, even the best side a good few years ago)
