“There is a group of philosophers who think that there is only one way to play football. There are many ways and the two teams are at an equal level, albeit with different styles,” Mourinho told A Bola.

“The team with the records is Madrid. We were the ones with more points, more goals, more wins… and it seems that the team has no right to take its deserved place in history.”
