The former Los Blancos player believes that Jose Mourinho will not stop until he has led Real Madrid to European glory.
The retired attacking midfielder claimed that the Portuguese mentor will be willing to try his best to lead his side to a UEFA Champions League triumph this season.
He said that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan coach will not be satisfied until Los Vikingos become European champions.
McManaman was of the opinion that the Spanish giants have what it takes to become the champions of Europe for the record 10th time. However, he admitted that they are likely to face Barcelona in the final and will have to overcome their oldest
rivals to achieve this glory.
Jose Mourinho’s men have enjoyed a very successful run in Europe this season and they appear absolutely unstoppable at the moment, hence being one of the favourites to win the European competition.
Madrid streamed through the group stages of the prestigious tournament as they finished as leaders of their group. They also managed to go through to the knock-out phase with a perfect record, having won all of their matches in the group stage.
From there on, reaching the semi-finals of the coveted competition appeared rather uncomplicated for Los Merengues as they established themselves as a destructive force across the continent.
In the last four, Mourinho’s men have been poised to face German Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich.
The highly anticipated fixture is expected to be quite a treat for football audiences as the Bavarians have also been excellent throughout their European campaign.
Steve McManaman pointed out that the way Jose Mourinho handles his side is relentless. He appreciated the 49-year-old as an excellent coach.
While talking to Goal.com the 40-year-old quoted:
"The minute you walk through the door, it’s made clear you have to win the Champions League, you have to win everything. This team now needs to get past a very strong Bayern Munich team and then beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 to make their own history.”
"I don’t think anyone, including Jose Mourinho, will be satisfied until they have won the Champions League.”
Can Real Madrid go past Bayern in order to reach the final or will they succumb to the mastery of the Germans? Only time can reveal.
