They should go home – Mourinho criticizes UEFA for relegating Champions League teams to Europa League

AS Roma manager, Jose Mourinho, has criticized UEFA for relegating some Champions League teams into the Europa League.

Mourinho said UEFA should instead allow the Champions League teams to go home when they get eliminated from the Europe top-flight competition instead of moving them to the Europa League.

The former Chelsea boss also claimed that it would be meaningless if teams that were relegated from the Champions League win the Europa League this season.

The Portuguese said this following AS Roma’s Europa League round of 16 second-leg 0-0 draw against Real Sociedad on Thursday.

Recall that the likes of Manchester United, Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen and Sporting Lisbon were all relegated from the Champions League to Europe’s second top-flight competition this season.

Speaking with Sky Sport Italia, Mourinho said: “There are teams there who, in my view, should not be there. If they are eliminated from a competition, they should go home!

“So if the Europa League is won by a side [Man United, Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen, Sporting Lisbon] that went out of the Champions League, then it will be meaningless to me.”

Mourinho’s side will face Feyenoord in the Europa League quarter-final tie next month after the draw was conducted on Friday.

LIB had reported that kidnappers invaded the victims’ residence opposite the Government Science Technical College (GSTC), Abaji last Tuesday night, October 21, and whisked away the principal, his wife, and his daughter. The principal’s wife, Mrs. Rakiya Zakari Yelwa, was ordered to return home by the kidnappers when she could not walk fast. The principal, while narrating his experience to Daily Trust at his residence on Sunday, October 25, said he and his daughter were freed on Saturday night after paying a N3.1 million ransom. He said life in the kidnappers’ den was like “hell,” and he prays that no one experiences such trauma. The principal said he and his daughter trekked through the forest throughout the night until they arrived at the kidnappers’ camp “On that very night, we walked throughout the night till dawn. As the morning set in, they kept us in a valley until it was getting dark again before we continued trekking until we arrived at their camp,” he said. According to him, his abductors fed him and his daughter with garri and yam, which, he said, they harvested from some people’s farms near the camp. He said the kidnappers used pieces of cloth to cover their faces until they were freed around 6:45 pm on Saturday at a forest that borders Toto LGA of Nasarawa and Kogi states. He added that apart from the N3.1 million cash ransom, the kidnappers also collected two cartons of malt, one carton of milk, bread, and some packets of cigarettes The principal thanked his colleagues, friends, and family members for their support and prayers. He also commended the vigilantes for their swift response during the attack at his residence.
