\ud83c\udf99\ufe0f JOSÉ MORINHO ON ROMA'S SPORTING DIRECTOR THIAGO PINTO, WHO SAID CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUALIFICATION WAS THE GOAL:

"Who said the Champions League was an objective for Roma? I certainly didn't. I always try to be honest, I don't like to sell hot air, I never said Roma were a candidate for the Champions League places.

"When you are competing against the teams in front of us, it would be irresponsible to talk about the Champions League. I never did that. The only thing I am fighting for in the final is the final. There are coaches, players, clubs who only play one European Final in their lives and feel lucky. We are playing our second in a row. This is for me a great season, it will be historic regardless of what happens.

We are friends, good friends but we can have different opinions so that's his problem.

We can write history and want to continue doing it, but qualifying for the Champions League when spending €7m on the transfer market is more than history, more than a miracle. It's like Jesus Christ coming to Rome and having a walk around the Vatican." -José Morinho
