At the end of the seventh round of the Champions League, in which the Turin side defeated Benfica 2-0, José Mourinho gave statements to Prime Video Sport Italia. The coach turned his attention to the league and highlighted FC Porto’s campaign, who lead with a 10-point advantage over the Eagles, who are in third place.
“The next match is a league match [against Estrela da Amadora], in a league where we have more points than last season. Last season, with fewer points, Benfica was in first place until the end. This year we have more points, but FC Porto wins every game. They win 1-0 in the last minute, win 1-0 with a penalty, win 1-0 with luck, win 1-0 playing well, win 1-0 playing badly… but they win. And we’re right there in the fight, but the truth is that it’s not enough to just do our job well: we have to hope that those ahead of us drop points,” said the coach.
