Jose Mourinho believes the ‘best team lost’ in Chelsea’s Super Cup penalty defeat to Bayern Munich.
The Blues twice took the lead throughout the match, including in extra time after the dismissal of midfielder Ramires, but were pegged back at the death and Romelu Lukaku’s missed spot kick handed victory to the German side.
But despite missing out on their first silverware of the season, Mourinho was happy with his players’ performance in Prague.
‘In my opinion the best team lost, the team that deserves more to win lost, but that’s football. Sometimes that happens in football,’ he said.
‘They just scored one more penalty.

‘The best team played with 10 men for a long, long period in the game. They played against the champions of Europe and they were the best team.
‘We only have reasons to be proud, to believe in the future. But I prefer just to say the best team lost and stay with it.’
However Mourinho’s old adversary Pep Guardiola said his Bayern side were deserving victors.

‘Today we deserve, we have played unbelievably good football,’ he said.
