Jose Mourinho has professed his love for Real Madrid and hopes they win this season’s Champions League – while not referencing his former club Chelsea.
Madrid won the second leg of their Round of 16 tie against Liverpool 1-0, to advance through to the last eight of the competition with a convincing 6-2 aggregate victory. Carlo Ancelotti’s side took another step towards defending their Champions League title.
In truth, the match was effectively over as a contest following the dramatic first leg at Anfield. Despite Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah giving Klopp’s side a dramatic two-goal lead, doubles from Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema, alongside an Eder Militao header – saw a stunning away victory.
