🎙 Benfica's head coach, José Mourinho, responded to the Champions League playoff draw, where his team will face Real Madrid: "We only had two options: Real or Inter. The choice was limited. We got the king. Recently, when a Real player offered me his jersey after the match, I jokingly showed Benfica players the emblem that 'Los Blancos' wear on their sleeve. They are the kings. It's not just history. We are set to play against, undoubtedly, the main contender for the tournament title. But before that, we have other matches, and we must focus on them."
