Mourinho equals Sir Alex Ferguson's record of seven semi-finals in Champions League
Jose Mourinho has drawn level with Sir Alex Ferguson on seven semi-final appearances in the Champions League after his Real Madrid side got past Galatasaray in the last eight on Tuesday, Goal.com reported.
Mourinho led Madrid to the last four of Europe's premier club competition in each of his first two seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu, and his team made it three in a row with a 5-3 aggregate win which included a 3-0 victory at home last week and the 3-2 defeat in Istanbul on Tuesday
The Portuguese has also now made it four semi-finals in a row - a feat achieved by only Helenio Herrera, Marcello Lippi, Vicente del Bosque and Pep Guardiola in the past, while his latest las-four appearance sees him at the top of a distinguished list of coaches, alongside Ferguson, and given he is over 20 years younger than the Manchester United boss, Mourinho is probably just getting started.
