| “Chelsea deserved to win in Moscow” “I’m sad about it. I think that for the ‘Blues family’, losing a semi-final of the Champions League to a phantom goal, losing another semi-final on penalties and losing a final on penalties is too tough and unfair,” Mourinho told Portuguese sports daily O Jogo. “Especially when Chelsea were the team that was closer to winning it. There are marvellous players there and they did not deserve the defeat, but football is like that and life goes on. “Congratulations to Manchester United, to a great manager who is Alex Ferguson and to all their players, but especially to Cristiano and Nani. “Given that Portuguese teams only win European competitions very occasionally with lots of years in between, it’s important that Portuguese players manage to lift these trophies,” added the Special One. |
