You know, for as much crap as Ronaldo gets for diving and embellishing, Robben is just as bad.

WOW, What a goal by Diego Milito to make it 2-0. Just a brilliant goal.

Game over. Bayern's defense was just not good enough.

So does this put Mourinho pretty much at the front of the greatest managers discussion? The guy has won pretty much everything.

Yup, and amazingly the man is only 47 years old.

He has won two Champions League titles with teams that would not be considered the most talented in the world, although he did fail with a stacked team at Chelsea.

I think he will probably win at least one more champion league title if he does go to Madrid, which would give him three championships with teams in three different leagues. Plus I would not be shocked if he went back to England and led a team there to a Champions League title.

Although to be the greatest of all time he will have to take a National Team to a World Cup title.

He is the greatest of all time

If Brent Sutter liked soccer, he would have loved the way Inter played. Pretty much perfect defense with some deadly counterattacks on top.

Mourinho all ready pretty much announced he is leaving Inter and going to Real Madrid

My target now is to win another championship where I have never won it and another Champions League ... And then I return to England.

and

Real Madrid is the only club that wants me.

that would be the biggest addition Madrid could make this offseason, they made the big signings last year and got the best coach in the world this off season. I think they win the La Liga next season and will obviously be 1 of the 4 or 5 favorites to win the CL

Can Portugal hire him now for the World Cup? It's still not too late!

I can not see Mourinho and Madrid being a good fit for each other. Madrid only wants all the big name offensive guys, and beautiful football. Mourinho has made his career on lesser known, boring, defensive teams. I honestly can't see him lasting more than a year or two.

he gets that unfair criticism that doesn't really fit, his teams always know how to play defense and hold a lead but Chelsea and Inter were always near the top of the league in scoring goals in their respective leagues

and Real Madrid have no problem scoring, they lost the title and got knocked out of the CL because they didn't have a good enough defensive system

I think he is a perfect fit
