Inter boss Jose Mourinho hinted that he may one day manage again in the Premier League, after watching his side progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Samuel Eto'o scored the only goal in the 79th minute as the former Chelsea boss put one over on his old team as Inter won 3-1 on aggregate, though Mourinho did not publicly celebrate the goal.
He told Sky Sports: "I celebrated a lot in the dressing room when the game was over. It was a big victory for my team.
"As I have said before, I am a professional, I love Chelsea, I love this stadium, I love these people but I am a professional.
"Who knows, in the future I may coach another English team and I will come here (again) as an opponent."
Mourinho felt his team played better than Chelsea on the night, in the 1-0 win in West London.
"I think everything was superior," he said. "I don't think it was tactics, it was attitude on the pitch.
"They (Chelsea) had reactions of frustration, of a team that felt the opposition was superior. Our team started the second half in an incredible way.
"We were the best team by far. Chelsea is a great team, we know that and we came here knowing very well the way they play. We knew that if you don't control the game by having the ball you have no chance.
"Every player performed at the highest level to win here, this must be almost a perfect performance. We deserve so much this victory, we were the best team."
