With qualification for the Champions League play-off secured after an epic victory against Real Madrid (4-2), José Mourinho now turns his attention to the next challenge. The Eagles will face Tondela away from home, in a match that will count towards the League.
On Instagram, the Eagles’ coach posted a photo in his office, looking at an image of Estádio João Cardoso, Tondela’s home ground. The message in the post is simple: “Life goes on”, which in good Portuguese means “a vida continua”.
José Mourinho made this post at 11:00 am this Friday, the same time as the UEFA Champions League play-off draw began. It should be noted that Benfica will once again face Real Madrid. If they win the tie, the Club from Luz could potentially face Sporting in the round of 16.
Although not yet confirmed, the matches are scheduled for the 17th and 18th of February, which correspond to the first leg of the play-off, where the Club will host Los Merengues. The second leg of the tie will be held at the legendary Santiago Bernabéu, on the 24th or 25th of the same month.
It’s worth remembering that the Eagles, led by José Mourinho, now turn their attention to the Liga Portugal Betclic match, with a visit to Tondela scheduled for 8:30 pm on February 1st, a match that will be refereed by Luís Godinho.
