Jose Mourinho's title-winning Chelsea side enjoyed a day out in Sydney which included a visit to the city's Taronga Zoo.

The Premier League champions, who will play against Sydney FC in front of 84,000 fans on Tuesday, are in Australia for their post-season tour.

Mourinho, 52, was pictured smiling as he petted a baby koala and baby kangaroo after the squad took in the sights such as the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
