“Mourinho still hasn’t thanked us for becoming a great Coach because that Milan were an incredible side…
“When I enter Riazor, there are photos of the goals that they scored against us that night.
“I see them every time I go down to the pitch, and they make me realise how important that match was for the fans here.
“Milan were a super team back then and should’ve won the treble that season.”
