“A different season and, above all, a different organization. I will say once again that we did not lose in the Budapest final. I’ll say it until my career is over, I’m not going to change my mind. However, now we have to start all over again, our aim is to qualify for the next round. Last year we started with a loss against Ludogorets and that caused us a problem, since then we had to play an extra round.”the Portuguese initially said, then was asked whether it would be easier for his team to qualify for next season’s Champions League via the Europa League or via Serie A, replying:

“I do not know. Last year we thought we could make it in both events. On the 30th matchday we were third and at the same time we were in the Europa quarter-finals. Then we had injuries and difficulties, but we managed to reach the final. I don’t know which is the easiest path. I can’t choose an organization, since for me the most important thing is always the next game”.
