Mourinho rues missed chances against galatasaray

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho acknowledged Wednesday night's 1-1 draw against Galatasaray in Istanbul in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie had to go down as "an opportunity missed".

The London club took an early lead through Fernando Torres at the Turk Telecom Arena, but it failed to capitalize on its good start and Galatasaray came back to equalize midway through the second half courtesy of Aurelien Chedjou.

That means the tie remains open ahead of next month's return at Stamford Bridge, when it could have been over after half an hour in Istanbul.
