Real Madrid coach Jose
Mourinho is hoping for a change of luck in Wednesday night’s Champions
League semi-final against Bayern Munich.
Mourinho
claimed he had been bereft of fortune in previous matches at the last
four stage after twice losing to Liverpool (in 2005 and 2007) – when at
Chelsea – and again to arch rivals Barcelona last season – a defeat he
blamed on a UEFA conspiracy.
Madrid go into Wednesday’s second leg with Bayern Munich at the Bernabeu 2-1 down.
“Overall I have not been lucky in semi-finals of the Champions League,” he said.
“I
lost one with Chelsea (2005) due to a goal that wasn’t a goal, the ball
didn’t cross the line. Another season (2007) we lost on penalties and
when you lose a semi-final on penalties it is due to bad luck and I lost
the semi-final last season because of what everyone knows.”
