“I prefer to lose a final than to lose a semi-final.
"Because you are more successful losing the final than losing the semi-final. It is better to be the runner-up than be out in quarters or semis.
"You want to do the best possible. But when you are almost there, you don't want to be the King of almost.
"You don't want to end your career, CV almost 20 times,'' he told Bein Sports.
Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho slammed Ajax after squandering their two goals lead against Tottenham in their Champions League semifinal second leg clash.
Matthijs de Ligt headed the hosts ahead just five minutes from a Lasse Schoene's cross while Hakim Ziyech doubled their lead 30 minutes later.
But a Lucas Moura's hat-trick ensured those two first half goals were mere consolation as the Premier League side progressed to their first ever UCL final on away goal rule.
