Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc has refused to be drawn into a war of words with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, ahead of the first leg of the crucial Champions League quarter-final between the two teams next week.
Mourinho has already started his mind-games by terming PSG as the favourites ahead of their clash against Chelsea. Blanc has refused to get into any sort of mind-games with Mourinho in return though.

"I will not play this game. It is my choice”, Blanc was quoted as saying by ITV.
The Frenchman knows that Mourinho is a master when it comes to playing psychological games before crucial matches, and he is not interested in a duel of words with the Portuguese.
