For the first time in 7 years Madrid have reached the final 8, beating Lyon 4-1 on aggregate, however Mourinho played down the achievement:
“We are Real Madrid, it is normal for us to qualify for the quarters.”
“One day we had to go through and it seems normal for us to advance. We were better than our rival and we played better.”
On the prospect of facing his former clubs, Mourinho admitted:
“Any draw will be a serious challenge, but I do not want to play Inter or Chelsea, but we might have to.”
