Jose Mourinho is confident about his squad:
The Portuguese said that every detail matters when it comes to winning the Champions League. Jose then talked about his time at Real Madrid when he lost the Champions League final against Bayern Munich in the 2011-2012 season. He stated that it was the strongest Real Madrid team of the past 15-20 years when he lost the semi-finals on penalties against Bayern. Jose continued by saying that Real Madrid won the league that season but lost the Champions League because three of the best penalty takers in the world - Kaka, Ramos and Ronaldo missed the spot-kick.
