At the pre-match press conference before the meeting with Seville, the Portuguese expert shared his opinion about the chances of his team.
"I do not think that we are claiming victory in the tournament, but after the release of the quarterfinals, everything is possible. At the stage of the 1/8 finals, the distance to the finish seems remote, and in the quarterfinals you already begin to smell the semi-final, "- quotes Mourinho official website of UEFA.
Also, the Portuguese commented on tomorrow's match against Seville.
"We will not be upset if we do not win with a difference of three, four, five goals, we must win with at least a minimal difference in the score.
Ahead is a very difficult match. We're playing with a team that did not lose to Liverpool in two games, with the team that scored Liverpool away, with the team that got a draw on the field of Liverpool. "

Manchester United is stronger than Seville. of course it is a cup match, Seville skilled team, and in one game can it happens anything. but nevertheless the MU looks better and now a playing style which at Mourinho approaches for today's more (!!!) games. I think the MU will win in full time, perhaps it is even convincing 3-0.
My emotions have subsided, and now I can express my sober opinion about the match with Sevilla. In the first half, MU had a chance to open an account. There were a couple of good moments that the defenders of Seville at the last moment blocked. Fellaini could pass a pass to Lukaku, but decided to break through. Sevilla itself in the first half did not create anything special. Almost played the same way as with Liverpool. At the beginning of the second half, Lingard could have given the transfer to Sanchez, who was standing alone, but Jesse decided to punch, and did not score. And this moment could well become an assist. At the same time, Seville began to find zones in the goalkeeper's MU. Then Bailly saved MU several times from the goal, but then a goal was scored from under him. After substitution Fellaini center field MU allowed to make a good pass, after which the Sevilla scored a goal. It is worth noting Montella, who made a clever substitution, releasing Ben Yedder, who immediately scored goals. The second goal is simply ridiculous. This goal should not have been. And on this it was clear that MU lost. However, it is worth noting that MU did not give up and went ahead. They created a couple of good moments, but no luck. Just Mourinho made three bad substitutions.
