The Portuguese mentor has exclaimed that his side’s opponents in Group D of the Champions League are reaping the benefits of the deep pockets of their owners.
According to Real Madrid head coach, Jose Mourinho, English Premier League champions, Manchester City, have become a strong side due to a tremendous amount of financial backing from their owners.
The veteran trainer gave an interview to his side’s official website, discussing situations concerning the Spanish giants. In the interview, the former Porto boss took out the time to discuss Madrid’s group in the UEFA Champions League.
The currently reigning champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 were drawn in Group D of the prestigious tournament. Many have referred to this group as the group of death as all four teams in the group are champions of their own respective domestic leagues.
Joining Los Blancos in Group D are the English, Dutch and German champions as Manchester City, Ajax and Borussia Dortmund, respectively. While discussing Real Madrid’s opponents in the Champions League, Mourinho went on to shed light over the strength of the Citizens.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan manager asserted that City are a side who have gathered great talent from across Europe with the help of their deep pockets. He suggested that the current squad at the Etihad Stadium outfit was assembled to chase glory in Europe and hence they are expected to put up a great deal of competition.
While talking to reporters, the 49-year-old was quoted as saying:
“Manchester City are a strong team because of their money, their players, their world-class players. City are a team brought together to win the Champions League, brought together with that intention.”
“The investment that they are making year after year has the aim of lifting the European Cup. It's going to be tough. Tough for Real Madrid ... tough for them because Real Madrid are Real Madrid.”
Los Vikingos will lock horns against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323’s Manchester City on September 18. The fixture is expected to be massively competitive; with the bookmakers tipping Real Madrid to be favourites in European fixture.
