José Mourinho stated that he had found and embraced André Villas-Boas, the president of FC Porto, at the end of the match. In a press conference, following the goalless draw between Benfica and FC Porto, the Eagles' coach commented on the reception at the Dragon Stadium:
"The story doesn't change. My gratitude to FC Porto also doesn't change. I don't know if their gratitude towards me changes or not. I had a calm game, focused on my job, trying to help my team. I had already played here with Chelsea and I can't say that during the game I had any special feeling".
"What the president [Villas-Boas] said before the game is normal. How should he be received? He should be received as the coach of Benfica... And that's what happened. After the game, I found him in the hallway: as friends, we hugged and life goes on", concluded José Mourinho.
