Jose Mourinho has been linked with a shock return to Real Madrid after admitting a preference for the club in their upcoming Champions League tie against Chelsea.
Mourinho continued his perfect European record as Roma boss last month as they marched past Real Sociedad in the Europa League to move through to the last eight. Having won the Europa Conference League in his first campaign in the Italian capital, he now has Europe’s second most prestigious continental trophy in his sights.
The Portuguese boss has been linked with a shock third spell at Stamford Bridge after the Blues sacked Graham Potter but he has already expressed his hope that the club exit the Champions League at the quarter-final stage against Madrid, another of his former clubs.
