Mourinho: "We played a true Champions League game"

realmadrid.com — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 16:58:46 +0000

Jose Mourinho addressed the media following the 1-1 draw in Lyon. “I feel we did more to win 2-0 than to draw 1-1, but this is nevertheless a good result because we’ll play the return leg at our stadium before our fans. They have to help us reach the quarterfinals.”
“It is very complicated to be a referee. You don’t like it when a ref is late or misses something during the game, but certain situations are unacceptable. I saw a player touch the ball with his elbow 50 metres away and the ref, who was just 5 metres away, didn’t award a penalty. This is the Champions League, a competition that showcases the best players, the best clubs and the best referees. None of the four refs on the pitch saw the handball. I hope it doesn’t prove decisive at the end of the knockout stage. It would be very sad if it did.”
