Between Chelsea and Real Madrid; Mourinho reveals who he wants to win the UCL clash
Between Chelsea and Real Madrid; Mourinho reveals who he wants to win the UCL clash.
Jose Mourinho was once the coach to these two clubs and he must have loved one more than the other and his choice here proves which he loves more.
Speaking before the Champions League quarter-final draw, he said: “There is a club that is close to my heart and there is a manager who is my friend.
“Real Madrid are great and Carlo Ancelotti is great!
“Hopefully they will go on in this way to win the final.”
Another of Mourinho’s former sides – Inter Milan – are also still in the Champions League, where they will face Benfica for a place in the last-four.
He guided Inter to European Cup success in 2010 where the Italian outfit beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in the final.
Blues supporters and Mourinho have a strained relationship after Mourinho took over at Manchester United after leaving Chelsea.
And he then did the unthinkable and chose to take charge at bitter rivals Tottenham.
It was claimed in January how Mourinho remains open to a third spell at Chelsea, with his wife and family still living in London.
Though a move back appears unlikely, with Chelsea owner Todd Boehly maintaining faith in Graham Potter – despite the club sitting tenth in the table.
