Benfica’s next opponent in the Champions League is either Inter Milan or Real Madrid. Interestingly, two former teams of José Mourinho. The coach respects his opponents and explains why he hasn’t yet been to the Santiago Bernabéu after leaving command of the team in 2013.
Next opponents
«Madrid and Inter are two of the most important candidates to win the competition. It’s clear, we don’t. We competed, we lost to Chelsea, but we competed. We lost to Juventus, but we competed, just like today we competed and won. Playing two hands is more difficult. We are building a team. And we’ll see, let’s enjoy today, play in the championship, do what we’re doing. If those ahead don’t lose points, you can’t do anything. In the next round we will have two more players, Sidny and Rafa Silva. It gives us a little more options.”
Return to the Bernabéu
“I have never been to the Bernabéu since I left Real Madrid. I was going to the Bernabéu one weekend, I had everything organized with a friend, I was in Barcelona. And in that, call me Benfica. I went directly to Lisbon. I didn’t go to the Bernabéu because of that. Maybe he will return as an opponent.”
