Stingy defense puts Chelsea in the quarters

Mourinho's squad advances after vanquishing Galatasaray

Chelsea's miniature midfield marvels may scoop the plaudits, but success is built on solid foundations - which is why Jose Mourinho praised his central defensive rocks after his side's Champions League win over Galatasaray.

Eden Hazard, Oscar, Ramires and Willian were all on duty in Tuesday's 2-0 home victory that sent Chelsea into the quarterfinals 3-1 on aggregate, but it was John Terry and Gary Cahill who Mourinho singled out for particular praise.
