Mourinho confident all of Italy will be supporting Inter Milan

Jose Mourinho has no doubt Inter Milan can count on the support of Italy in tonight's Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

Speaking at a Press Conference ahead of Saturday's Champions League Final in Madrid, Mourinho was at his controversial best.

"The Champions League Final is always important to win. I am not thinking about the fact Inter haven't won it for 45 years.

"It's an extraordinarily special event for the Inter fans, because they haven't won it for so many years.

"The majority of them weren't even born when they last won the cup.

"In recent years Inter have won many trophies, but I believe that the game tomorrow, at least in the case of victory, will be really special.

"I will feel the pressure and the importance of the task in the morning. But all that will end when I step off the bus: then I'll feel in my natural habitat.

"It's not a problem that you speak about me at Real: but who plays a Champions League Final can only worry about that. It's a dream, not an obsession. But at the end of tomorrow's game I will not know if it will have been my last with Inter."
