The players showed fantastic behavior in terms of organization, concentration, emotional resilience, we didn’t receive any yellow cards, we played smart. It was a good football match, without the scent of goals. No one is to blame for this, but the responsibility lies with Benfica and Porto.
Enzo and Rios had a great match, controlling Froholdt, who was invisible today, the same goes for Gabriel. They didn’t create dangerous situations in the penalty area. They had a great chance with Rodrigo, but if I had been in goal instead of Trubin for 90 minutes, it would have been the same. Trubin didn’t even touch the ball. The team played very well," Mourinho was quoted by the Telegram channel «Vzbіrna» referring to the publication A Bola.
