Courtois pulled off a magnificent save to thwart John Terry before Samuel Eto'o felled Diego Costa to concede a penalty.
Costa blasted home the penalty as Atletico thrashed the Blues 3-1 to set up a Champions League Final with Real Madrid.
"I think the game until that moment was very equal," Mourinho told Sky Sports in his post-match interview.

One minute decided everything. A minute where the goalkeeper makes an impossible save

"One minute in the second half decided everything. A minute where the Atletico goalkeeper makes an impossible save to a John Terry header then the penalty that kills the game.
"After that there was only one team with morale high, knowing with half an hour left they had control. For about 60 minutes we had the game, but semi-finals and important matches are made of details and this was a very important detail."
"Congratulations to them [Atletico]. What they have done this season in the Spanish league has been fantastic."
