Mourinho: the final will be close

20 May 2008 - 12:34

Jose Mourinho has revealed his belief that the Champions League final between Man Utd and Chelsea will be a tough battle. The former Chelsea boss has decided not to choose a favorite for the match in Moscow.

  • Arsenal leading race to sign Belgian midfielder

  • “It will be a very close call and I think it's really a 50/50 match. There are no secrets between these two teams and they have showed that time and time again,” said Mourinho.



    “They have showed that in the Premiership this year, by finishing first and second, they showed that over the past few years where only Man United and Chelsea won the Premiership, and they showed that when they faced each other, for example, in the (2007) FA Cup Final, where only the extra time could resolve the result.”



    “A final is a final, and in finals we cannot speak about the favourite - especially between two teams from the same country."
