Former Manchester United and Real Madrid manager have underlined his preferred winner for the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League winner.
The two times Champions League winner has decided he will go for his former team to lift the European silverware.
Liverpool qualified for the Paris final by defeating Villarreal in the semi-finals earlier this week. Jurgen Klopp’s team won the match 5-2 on aggregate.
Real, on the other hand, qualified for the May 28 match after coming from behind to stun Manchester City on Wednesday night.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team managed to win despite being behind on the night and in front of an electrifying Santiago Bernabeu crowd.
After beating Brandon Roger’s Leicester City last night. Mourinho’s Roma advanced to the final of the Europa Conference League.
After a 1-1 draw in the first leg at King Power last week, Tammy Abraham’s powerful header for the home side made the difference in Rome.
Mourinho couldn’t help but admit in his post-match interview at the Stadio Olimpico that he will be pulling for his good friend Ancelotti when the Merseyside face Los Blancos at the Stade de France on the 28th of May.
“If you allow me a message for a coach who is my friend, the great Carletto, let’s both go and win the Finals.”

The Portuguese manager has proven his worth in the top European leagues but his stance on Liverpool has been a bit bitter.
His time at Chelsea created the rivalry between the Blues and the Reds, who at the time missed winning their league title under Brandon Rogers.
A club like Liverpool, which is regarded as one of the best in English football, has many adversaries not only in England but around Europe.
Having said that, it hasn’t stopped the Scousers from progressing and becoming one of the greatest in the game, rival clubs are certain to feel jealous.
