AC Milan know they might not win: Jose Mourinho

"What counts is where you are in May. It's always been the case with my teams that my second year has been where we reach near perfection but that doesn't mean that we won't try to achieve something important in my first year here.

"There are six, seven or eight teams who can win the Champions League and we're amongst them. We're also one of the teams capable of winning the Spanish League."

For Mourinho it's not the first time he has come back to his former home as the former Chelsea and Porto boss has always gone back to his old stomping grounds, even though in this case he will be playing against the other half of the city.

"I will try to feel the affection of the Inter fans (in Milan) but I'm here to play an important match," he said.

"I've gone back to Porto and Chelsea and now I'm back at the San Siro but I have to isolate those emotions.

Real have never won here because there's a lot of pressure, their fans give them a lot of support. But Milan will also be concerned because they know they might not win. It will be a great game."
