Roma is the final side still playing in the Europa League, according to Jose Mourinho, who also stated that Roma has ‘already won’ the league.
Mourinho claims they have already won the trophy after defeating Bayern Leverkusen 1-0 in the first leg.
WHAT OCCURED?
Mourinho said in his pre-match press conference that his team had already won the Europa League because they had been there from the beginning, as opposed to teams that dropped down from the Champions League, like Leverkusen, and made it to the second leg of the semifinal against Bayer Leverkusen.
WHO THEY WERE:
He remarked with a smile, “If I did not have the ambition of trying to win, it would be very simple for me to say now that we have already won the Europa League.” Roma has won if the Europa League is for the clubs that began this campaign.
“But it is just theory; winning is what we want. My admiration for Bayer Leverkusen as a team is unwavering, but I believe that a team that was developed with the goal of competing in the Europa League and has played 14 games there has more worth than one that made the necessary preparations to compete in the Champions League group stage.
THE GENERAL IMAGE:
Roma and Mourinho are on the verge of reaching their second consecutive European championship final. Roma is the favorite to take the entire championship after winning the first leg at home by a score of 1-0.
“The now is all that matters since the past is history and the future is something we cannot predict. I played in two consecutive European championships at Porto. Since I’ve changed into a different person who puts other people before herself, I truly want to make it to this final. After his team advanced to the final, Mourinho said, “I want it for the guys and the supporters.
What will happen to Mourinho and Rome?
Prior to resuming to Serie A action on Monday against Salernitana, Roma and Mourinho play the second leg on Thursday.
