"We don't cry on injuries, it is our philosophy," Mourinho said. "One injury means an opportunity for somebody else." Chelsea remains two points ahead of Schalke, which clinched a 4-3 victory over 10-man Sporting Lisbon in stoppage time when Eric Choupo-Moting converted a penalty.
Adrien Silva, who had brought Sporting back from a two-goal deficit, was penalized for a handball -- although television replays clearly showed the ball had bounced off his chest.
Without the injured star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paris Saint-Germain needed a goal from Edinson Cavani three minutes from time to beat APOEL. "I believe that we didn't play a great game. Honestly, it's not one that we'll remember. But what we'll keep is the three points," PSG coach Laurent Blanc said.
In freezing Moscow, goals from Sergio Aguero and James Milner gave Manchester City a comfortable two-goal lead by halftime at Arena Khimki, where CSKA was made to play behind closed doors as punishment for racist behavior by its fans.
But CSKA substitute Seydou Doumbia pulled one back in the 65th minute off a cross from Ahmed Musa and Bibras Natcho leveled in the 86th from the penalty spot after Doumbia was fouled by Aleksandar Kolarov.
Substitute Ricardo Quaresma scored in the 75th minute to give FC Porto a 2-1 win over Athletic Bilbao.
