José Mourinho and his Real Madrid side won 2-1 against Chivu’s Inter thanks to goals from Mbappé and Valverde.
The Special One praised the Nerazzurri, clearly the strongest team in Serie A: “Inter are a top team, they’re the best in Italy by a long shot.”
The Portuguese coach, however, also emphasized Roma’s growth, which is currently the closest to the Scudetto winners last season: “I only see Roma being able to stay there, press, stay close to them, and who knows what, do something extraordinary. Inter certainly have the ambition to win the Champions League; they have a squad with a thousand options.”
After Real Madrid-Inter (2-1), José Mourinho spoke to Sky Sport about the thrill of facing a team he once coached, something he will also face against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on October 14: “Last year I faced Chelsea straight away. I always play against my former teams, but I can’t hide it. It’s the first time I’ll return to Rome to face Roma. It will be like today (the special feeling, ed.). Before and after, but not during the match.”
There’s anticipation for the Portuguese coach’s return to the capital, the last to have won a trophy with Roma (the Conference League). These are unforgettable emotions that Roma fans will never forget.
