Champions League: José Mourinho's wish ahead of facing Real Madrid

During Monday's press conference, José Mourinho was asked about a potential return to Real Madrid. He also wished his former club the best.

Speaking to the media, José Mourinho once again dismissed rumors of a return to Real Madrid. The Benfica manager would love to see Alvaro Arbeloa succeed on the Madrid bench—but not in the Champions League. That's because their teams are set to clash in the play-offs tonight.

"I'd love to knock Real out, but I also want Alvaro to win La Liga and stay at Real for many years. He's a guy who's deeply attached to the club." said the Special One.
