harsh by marcelo if he meant it as a snide rather than just an observation
in reality real had barely been past the CL 2nd rd in a decade before mourinho went there, and he took them to 3 successive semi-finals in some style ... they got mugged off by the referee in the 1st against barcelona, got done on penalties in the 2nd and then got taken apart in the 3rd as bundesliga dominated la liga ... he also beat guardiola's side to win the charity shield, the spanish cup and by winning superbly in camp nou in the run-in they won the league in 2012. real also scored at least 100 goals in each of mourinho's 3 league campaigns. overall it's fair to say that mourinho clearly advanced real from where they were when he arrived, both domestically by taking on and seeing off guardiola, and in the CL where they had massively under performed for a decade, setting them up to return to the top ... the work done to close the gap to barcelona over the previous 5 or 6 seasons has obviously helped zidane's incredible transition to management. as has the fact barcelona have significantly dropped off a level as their team ages and wanes. |
