Jose Mourinho does not see Manchester United going beyond the last eight in the UEFA Champions League.
United were placed against Paris Saint Germain in their round of 16 match after Jose Mourinho could only guide the team to a second place finish in the group stage. However, the Portuguese was sacked in the interim and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had to take charge of a dismantled United team.
His team lost the first leg at home by a score of 2-0 and had 10 of their first team players ruled out through injuries and suspensions for the second leg. However, they completed a historic comeback and are now primed to face Messi’s Barcelona. However, Jose does not believe they can beat the Catalonian side.
“Juventus and Barcelona are the two great candidates for the final victory and will reach the bottom,” Mourinho said. “All they talk about Ronaldo and Messi, but I prefer to talk about Juve and Barcelona, I will always be a football coach and football continues to be a team sport. Juventus and Barcelona have experience, talent and a special player each. There are these special players, the teams end up becoming the best.”
