José Mourinho plays humble, before Real Madrid clash

José Mourinho was in deferential mood again when discussing Manchester United’s quality compared with Real Madrid, saying the Europa League is very difficult to win but “top quality” lies in the Champions League.

Speaking to the press ahead of the game, Mourinho said, "We are going to try, that’s obvious. But that’s also obvious the difference between the Champions League and Europa League winners.

The Europa League is very difficult to win. It’s a lot of matches, you travel, the motivation is not so high. Europa League is not the El Dorado for the players.

“But the top quality is obviously the Champions League. When you get into semis-finals you have four of the best five or six teams in Europe so there is a difference in quality. It’s possible, we believe it’s possible.”
