Jose Mourinho throws subtle jab at Real Madrid ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash, MySportDab reports.
Benfica and Real Madrid are expected to face each other this week as the UEFA Champions League knockout phase commence tomorrow.
Jose Mourinho has been talking ahead of the clash after seeing his side take down the European giant in a shocking outcome.
Benfica already beat Real Madrid during the League phase which was able to earn them qualifications into the next round of play.
According to Fabrizio Romano, he confirmed the comments from Jose Mourinho concerning the match that is coming up.
Here Is What Was Said:
“We know what we did to the kings of the Champions League… they are wounded. And a wounded king is dangerous.
He Added:
“When a Real Madrid player offered me his shirt after the game… I jokingly showed my colleagues the symbol on it, the 15 Champions Leagues”.
“They’re the kings. It’s not just history, we’re going to play against the favorites of this competition”.
The Portuguese coach knows what is at stake and he isn’t looking at an easy match or something close to what they had earlier against Real Madrid which they came out tops.
