The veteran trainer has taken out time to speak about his worst nights while competing in the Champions League, suggesting that the match against City was still not that bad.
Real Madrid head coach, Jose Mourinho, has looked back at his experience in the UEFA Champions League and has pointed out the times that made were most disappointing for him.
According to the Special One crashing out of the prestigious European tournament at the semi-final stage has been a painful thing to endure.
Both these times, the Portuguese mentor was managing Los Blancos. The first time the nine-time European champions were knocked out at the last four stage under Mourinho was in 2010/2011’s campaign.
It was an ideal scenario as the semi-final was also an El Clasico encounter. Los Vikingos were tipped against their fiercest rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
To the disappointment of the Santiago Bernabeu faithful, the Merengues were eliminated after being defeated at the hands of La Blaugrana.
It was a similar story the next year as Madrid crashed out after being beaten by German Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich. The Germans booked a place in the final after beating the Whites in a penalty shootout.
This was probably more disappointing for the Spanish giants as they were tipped as heavy contenders to win against Bayern.
Mourinho also pointed out other incidents when his players suffered injuries and caused problems for the current La Liga champions.
"I lost a semi-final with a goal that was not because the ball didn’t cross the line, one in which http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 broke his tibia and Alves his fibula, others about penalties ... I’ve had worse moments in my Champions League career. This was a match is amongst the acceptable ones and not the dramatic ones".
"In the Champions League: the worst moments: the two semi-finals I lost on penalties. And there is another main moment which is forbidden to talk about. I have been awarded as the best coach in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. I don't care about this season's prize. The most important thing is that we won La Liga."
Jose Mourinho is the only manager to have won the English, Italian and Spanish league.
