Mourinho: All Italians Will Be Pleased With Inter’s Champions League Elimination

The outspoken Portuguese tactician believes that the entire Italian peninsula will be pleased that his side are out of Europe.

The reigning Italian champions, Inter, were no match for the reigning English, Champions League and World champions, Manchester United, at Old Trafford last night.

The Nerazzurri needed to attain a result in order to progress further in the competition, but they failed in their quest as United ran out victors by a 2-0 score line.



Inter’s elimination from the competition is something that the coach Jose Mourinho believes will please all Italians, whilst he also feels that all is not lost despite their exit.
“All of Italy will be happy because we were eliminated. But I do not care,” Mourinho declared in an interview with Rai following the match.

“I am not angry, only sad. We did not have the luck you need to win these big matches, so I am sorry that we don’t have the chance to win this cup any longer.

“In any case, there is still the Scudetto, which is something we surely must win now.

Mourinho’s men currently lead their nearest rivals, Juventus, by a comfortable seven points with 11 rounds remaining, meaning that a fourth consecutive Serie A title is well and truly on the cards.

Inter's next task is Fiorentina, against whom they will do battle at the San Siro on Sunday at 20:30 CET.
