Mourinho not feeling pressure to win Champions League in second Real Madrid spell

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho stated he is not under any pressure to win the Champions League during his second tenure at the club, prior to their match against Serie A leaders Inter Milan at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Champions League is the only title Mourinho failed to secure during his initial stint with Real Madrid back in 2013. He emphasized that his focus now is on the present, not the past.

In 2010, Real Madrid struggled to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, with a long time since they played in a semi-final. However, since then, they have won six Champions League titles within a decade. Mourinho's side will be closely watched to see how they cope with their first setback of this spell - a 1-0 loss to Real Betis in LaLiga.

Mourinho reiterated his desire for every match and competition win, but stressed the importance of stability. Stability and structure are crucial for achieving greatness, he said. Despite the pressure, Mourinho remains confident that Real Madrid, a 15-time European champion, can still win the Champions League, especially after two trophyless seasons coinciding with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe.
