    jose mourinho at real madrid still holds laliga record most goals in a season at 121!
    Not even a Messi led barcelona considered best squad ever assembled was able to score as many!
    Jose's Benfica will give their all but madrid's superior technical ability should hold sway – one would expect!
    Nevertheless, I'm hopeful having placed a few dollars on Benfica at 126/1 (46/1 NOW) – to at least reach the final after they had lost their 4th straight match!
    Did similar when Jose's Inter were struggling early on = anything is possible and remembering in EPL Ranieri's Leicester almost relegated won the title at odds of 1000/1!!

    No or very less knowledge about football have these guys. Real Madrid have many problems the most impact one is losing Kroos and Modric, two of the best playmakers the football ever had and of course the stupid and arrogant ego players like Vini, Mbappé and a little bit of Jude !!

    The problem with Real is that they have 2 ou 3 players that don't want to defend. If they dominate the game, they are very strong. If they face a pressing and intense team (as Benfica was), they have a lot of problems…

    Mourinho was talking about doing if for his people, but not just the portuguese, I think he was talking about the benfica fans. He hinted he's a benfica fan, but maybe he doesn't want to say it because of the connection with FC Porto.

    Are you jocking? All madristars knows that Madrid’s success the last 10-12 years is because of Jose Mourinho. Mourinho came in a difficult time, when madrid was struggling in all positions and Barca was on top. Bayern, Manchester, all of them were better than Madrid. Then Mourinho came with personality and winning mentality, brought Ozil, De Maria, Kedira, etc, and Madrid became once again a winning team. He brought Modric, Verane, Marcelo. 2012 Madrid won laliga winning with a record points. Except to no won champions league, Mourinho is the foundation of many trophies we won after him.
    He will be received as a Hero at Bernabeu, when he will come and I have some feelings that he is the next manager of Madrid
