Jose Mourinho had words of sympathy for Didier Drogba after the Ivoarian failed to shine on his rteurn to the Bridge.
If the former Chelsea striker ended up a peripheral figure, he was not alone as his new team Galatasaray under-performed.
“I think the most difficult thing was the way his team played, because when you are a striker, if your team doesn't produce attacking football, you feel a lonely man.
“It happened to every striker in the world. If the team is not there to play behind you, you are a lonely man, so I think he couldn't do much.
“I have to say, Gary [Cahill] and John [Terry] made a fantastic performance against two very good strikers. We controlled the game so well that we could never see Didier in the dangerous positions.”
Mourinho, delighted with the way his team dominated the second leg from start to finish, said: “It was a very good performance. Solid, compact, no fears.
“I think we had a very good approach to the game, because 1-1 [from the first leg] is a difficult result, even at 2-0, because if they score one goal, you are on the limit.
“The team was very solid, very confident and very much in control for the 90 minutes, which is difficult.
“We got a positive result in the first leg and in the second leg we finished the job.
"We had the best chances to score the third goal so probably the result could be a little bit bigger because we were really much better than Galatasaray."
