Mourinho on Atlético-Barça: “I’d like both of them to lose”
Mourinho admits he wants Atlético and Barça to drop points this Sunday, before Real Madrid visit Valencia needing three points of their own.
José Mourinho, coach of Real Madrid, admitted at his pre-match press conference ahead of the trip to Valencia that he would like both Atlético Madrid and Barcelona to lose their clash this Sunday. The two sides are first and second in LaLiga.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Portuguese boss argued the match is simple because someone is going to drop points, and at least one of the two will finish the weekend short of a full haul. Still, he was blunt that the result doesn’t matter much to him: “Honestly, I don’t care.”
For Madrid, the immediate task comes first. Before looking at what happens elsewhere, they have to take three points from Valencia, and that won’t be easy.
