Jose Mourinho continued his perfect European record as Roma boss as they advanced past Real Sociedad to qualify for the Europa League quarter finals.
Mourinho masterminded the Italian club’s first European trophy in over 60 years as they won last season’s Conference League in his first campaign in Rome. The Giallorossi – 2-0 up from the first leg – frustrated the Basque outfit, who had topped their group stage which had included Manchester United, to advance to the last eight.
United qualified for the last eight after seeing off Real Betis 5-1 on aggregate and they could not be paired with their former boss in the quarter finals. Both clubs are now firmly among the favourites to win the Europa League, after Roma’s scoreless draw in San Sebastian sealing their progress.
