Accoring to The Mirror, Jose Mourinho has said Fabio Capello knows nothing about football because Capello said in an interview last week that Inter “has” to win the Champions League this year.

Without naming the England manager, the former Chelsea boss said: “In this Champions League, there are a lot of teams who have already got a settled team like Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. Then there is Inter, who have a big squad but the team is still under construction. It is like this for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Last season, none of the Italian teams did well but I don’t think that this year it will go as badly. But whoever says that Inter ‘have’ to win the Champions League knows nothing about football, and in the place of ‘nothing’ I could use much stronger words.”
