John Terry has spoken for the first time about the team meeting called by Jose Mourinho after Chelsea's lacklustre exit from the Champions League.

The Blues captain says the meeting was important to clear the air after one of the most disappointing performances of this season.

Mourinho’s side were knocked out of Europe on away goals by Paris Saint-Germain despite heading into the return leg at Stamford Bridge with a slight advantage.

It was a crushing blow for the Blues but the training ground talks, which lasted for 30 minutes, helped the team get back on track in the Premier League.

Speaking after the vital 2-3 win at Hull, which maintained their cushion of six points plus a game in hand over Manchester City, Terry said: “Things were said by the manager and a few players spoke.

“Sometimes they (meetings) are good, sometimes they don't work. The importance of it was to speak after the game, get it over with, everyone say their thoughts and feelings, which they did, and then it's time to move on.

“There is no time to dwell on things. It was an open discussion, we went out and trained and that was the end of it.

“We obviously have to come back stronger and more experienced (in the Champions League) next year.”

Chelsea, and the rest of the Premier League, now have a fortnight break – due to international football. They are next in action at home to Stoke City on 4 April.
