The Nerazzurri managed to get a 2-0 win over Panathinaikos in Athens.
“Tonight I liked the result, the three points, and the grit of the team,” said Mourinho.
“To win in the Champions League away from home is very difficult, and we had the personality to come here and win. We started well, and our objective is to reach 12 points in the group as soon as possible.”
He added on Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s performance in the match: “He did an incredible job.
“His commitment is an example of how to become an exceptional sportsman. His second assist was brilliant. Adriano did great to get into the space and he remained cool in front of the goalkeeper.”
