“We only need to come here because of our mistake. Mancini declared, on the eve of the match, that it was punishment for the dirty tournament we played last year.

Mourinho: ‘It’s all my fault’

In an interview with “Sky Sports” after the match, Mourinho rested his players and took responsibility for the historic result.

“It is my fault. I am the one who decided to play with this team,” the Portuguese declared.

– I did it with good intentions: to give a chance to those who work hard and do not play much, and on the other hand, so that those who always play may rest and avoid the artificial pitch in these weather conditions. We lost to a team with a higher quality than us: our team that started the match was inferior to Bodou – repeated the coach.

Bodo/Glimt, who won her first Norwegian title last season, leads Group C League Conference, now with seven points. Roma came in second place with six players. CSKA Sofia and Zorya are still playing on Thursday.
