'Juve and Barca are favourites for Champions League'

In an interview with 'France Presse', Jose Mourinho gave his opinion on the current Champions League situation, a competition in which he battled for while at Manchester United.

Interestingly, the Portuguese coach does not consider his ex-team as one of the favourites to win this year's contest.

"We all talk about Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi but I prefer to talk about Juventus and Barcelona", he said.

"I know that everyone focuses on individuals, but I will always be a football coach and football will always be a team sport", Mourinho stated.

Mourinho then revealed his favourites to reach the final of the Champions League: "Juventus and Barcelona are the big candidates, but the English sides are there, as well as Ajax and Porto".

"Juve and Barca have experience, talent and each a special player. Normally, when you have a special player, your team is better", the Portuguese coach concluded.
