Champions League: Mourinho predicts clubs that will qualify for semi-finals

 

Former Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, has named the four teams he expects to qualify for the Champions League semi-final.




Speaking on Russia Today, Mourinho said Juventus and Barcelona will be among the last four standing.

Barca is on track to progress into the semi-finals, after beating Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford in the first leg.




Juventus on the hand grabbed an away goal against Ajax in their 1-1 draw.

"Let me protect myself a little bit; I think every club has a chance... The results are showing that everyone has a chance. Nobody goes to the second leg thinking 'that's done, I qualified already' or 'that's done, I have no chance'.

"You know, Barcelona and Juventus they have a little advantage. Barcelona is winning one nil and now plays at home. Juventus drew with goals and know they are playing at home. They have a little advantage.

"But as I was saying I wouldn't be surprised if one of them or both stay behind.

"But you know, the semi-finals are semi-finals and the winner of Barcelona and Manchester United is going to play against Liverpool or Porto so it's so difficult.

"And then the winner of City-Tottenham, as we were saying, is an English team that reaches a semi-final and goes to play against Juventus or Ajax so I really used to say this all the time when you get into a semifinal you have 12.5 percent possibility equally to win the competition.

"You have everything open for you when you start feeling you can. So at this moment everybody that is in the quarterfinal they are feeling they can," Mourinho said.
