The Portuguese mentor has taken a jibe at the current English champions, claiming that money has no competition against prestige and history.
Real Madrid head coach, Jose Mourinho, has called out his side’s opponents this midweek, Manchester City, warning them that money cannot buy them a status as great as Los Blancos.
The nine-time European champions are set to lock horns with the Barclay’s English Premier League outfit in their opening match of their UEFA Champions League campaign.
The match that will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu will see the Citizens travel to the Spanish capital on Tuesday.
Experts predict a close encounter between the two sides, however, Mourinho has stressed that Los Vikingos have the ability to overcome the Blues with ease.
Jose Mourinho has openly challenged Mancini’s men ahead of their encounter. The experienced trainer is convinced that no matter how great the threat posed by City appears to be, Los Merengues are the better side. Although, the Portuguese national did mention

"This [City] is a team being created to lift the Champions League, that is their aim, but there are some things that money cannot buy - trophies and history," the 49-year-old The Sun.
"There are great clubs but the pressure and the expectation is the greatest here at Real Madrid. It is huge but it is an enjoyable pressure, not a suffocating one. I don't like to speak about opponents individually but it's no problem to say that we respect
Carlos Tevez a lot,” he added.
While voicing his opinion, the former Porto boss also poked fun at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s men. Heavy spenders, City, have established quite a reputation due to their deep pockets and extravagance in the transfer season. The last few seasons have seen the English
side invest lavishly in order to bring more depth and talent to their squad.
Helped with the financial backing of their owners, the Emirates Stadium outfit have managed to forge a very strong team.
However, it still took the Blues a great deal of effort to win their second Premier League title, which was decided on the last day of the season.
