Euro 2024: ‘Best Team Won’ – Jose Mourinho Says As He Hails Three Players

Portuguese legendary coach, Jose Mourinho, who is currently the manager of the Turkish side, Fernabahce, believes that the best team won Euro 2024.

Ahead of the Euro 2024 in Germany, Jose Mourinho predicted that his home country, Portugal, France, and England were the favourites to win the tournament.

But that wasn’t the case as Portugal crashed out in the quarter-finals, France ended their journey in the semi-finals, and Spain defeated England 2-1 in the final.

In his assessment of the tournament via his Instagram page, the former Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester United coach identified three players that stood out for him in the Spanish squad. Interestingly, the three players – Nacho Fernandez, Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Morata – played under him at Real Madrid.

Fernandez played four games in Euro 2024 without scoring, Carvajal scored once in five games, and Spain’s captain, Morata, played all the games (7) in which he scored a goal and provided an assistant.

Jose Mourinho wrote: “2024/Champions League winner captain Nacho Fernandez/European Champion winner captain Alvaro Morata.

“Many congratulations to them and to the coach who gave them their debut when they were just kids in the Academy. The same coach who did not understand that Dani Carvajal was another one.

“Many congratulations to Mister De La Fuente for an amazing job. The best team won!”
