Why it matters
The performance of elite European football clubs in the Champions League has significant financial and reputational implications for the sport.
--> Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho said he does not feel additional pressure because of the need to win the Champions League during his second spell at the club in Spain. On Tuesday, the team is due to begin the tournament with a match against reigning Italian champions Inter at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid.
As Cyprus Mail reports , the Champions League was the only trophy Mourinho did not win during his first stint at Real Madrid. The coach stressed that he does not consider himself indebted to the club because of the results of his previous spell.
“No, these are two different spells. When I left in 2013, we won what we won and lost what we lost, and we gave everything. And that was it. What I have to do now has nothing to do with the past,” Mourinho said.
