Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is convinced his team is far from the finished article.

Ominously for opponents, Mourinho believes the best of his Madrid is yet to be seen.

"The best years of this generation are still to come, the best years of this team are still to come," he said.

"The work being done is being done not only thinking about today but also of winning tomorrow. This project has many years ahead of it.

"The best is still to come and it wouldn't be very intelligent of me if I dedicated myself from the first day, giving my heart to this project, and then think about leaving midway through."
