Jose Mourinho managed David Luiz for one season before selling him to PSG

The Brazilian defender was sold by Chelsea to the French giants for £50million last summer following an indifferent season.

On his first return to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, Luiz is set to start for Paris in the second leg but his comments ahead of the game could lead to a frosty reception from the home fans.

Responding to a journalists question about what makes Mourinho so special, Luiz said: "He is special for you, not for me." 

Luiz and Mourinho were spotted shaking hands after the first leg of the last-16 match which ended 1-1.

PSG will arrive in London in good form after beating Lens 4-1 on Saturday while Chelsea's early exit from the FA Cup gave them a free weekend to prepare.
