Mourinho eyes Champions League glory this season

Jose Mourinho is already dreaming of winning the Champions League with Tottenham but admits it will be a tough challenge.

The 56-year-old would love to add a third crown with the London side after winning twice with FC Porto and Inter Milan.

“I love the competition as much as everyone in football,” he said. “It’s something that everybody dreams about, to win it.

“Not everyone has the privilege to be a Champions League winner, which I was happy enough to do twice.

“Do I want to win it a third time? Of course, I would love it but I know the difficulties of it,” said the coach who now calls himself the “Humble One”

“But with these boys, I will never be afraid of any Champions League match that comes into our faces.

“I repeat, we need to qualify, that is the focus. I always say that.

“We have to qualify, but, as I was saying, give me time to work, give me time to float my ideas with these boys and I will have no problem at all going to any stadium at all to face any big opponent in Europe or in England.
