Review the highlights of the match
José Mourinho (Benfica coach):
15 minutes à Benfica: "There have been several '15 minutes à Benfica' in many matches. In Famalicão, there were 15 minutes à Benfica."
Staying on: "I don't know. When I know, I'll say."
Locked in at Real Madrid: "There's a chance I could stay, yes. My intention this week is to see what I have. Objectively, I have a renewal offer from Benfica, which I appreciate. I am as grateful for that as I am for the opportunity to coach Benfica a few months ago. In recent weeks, I didn't want to focus on my future. None of us are fools. Obviously, there is something, but there is no signed contract, nothing on the table, no talks between me and the president of Real Madrid or anyone important in the club's structure. The only real thing is an offer from Benfica for me to stay."
Rui Costa did everything to keep him: "He made a contract with me when I came here, where we agreed to have a clause that would protect us ethically in case the president lost the elections. I had a contract for one more year, and Benfica was under no obligation to renew it. By not renewing, we kept this clause open for a few more days, which gives me the possibility to leave if that's my decision. I have no criticism of the president. We both agreed to this contract. At this moment, I have one more year on my contract with Benfica."
Possibility of staying: "It's 99%. I have a contract and a renewal offer that I haven't seen, but my agent told me it's an excellent proposal. From Real Madrid, at this moment, I have nothing except conversations between Jorge (Mendes), the president, and the club's structure."
Benfica fans: "I said goodbye to the players in general. I wished those going to the World Cup the best, and those not going, a good holiday, and what I told them I have no problem sharing. I am extremely proud of that locker room, of Benfica at Seixal. In that group of players and people working there, there are only good things. There's organization, discipline, empathy, friendship, and joy. Third place doesn't reflect the work that was done there. It hurts me to hear any insults when we arrive at the stadium. The only thing these boys take from this season is the honor of being the only unbeaten team in European football. That says a lot about this team. Benfica has a good group, has many conditions to be happy, but it's not enough."
Saying no to Real Madrid: "It depends on the offer and what they want from me. We're not talking about one euro more or less. It depends on whether I'm in a position to achieve what they propose. I want, by my own right, to have my time to talk and decide what's best for me. Benfica is Benfica and, at this point, I can no longer hide what I feel for Benfica. I spent my whole career hiding it, but not anymore."
League title: "I don't believe in that miracle. There are many kinds of miracles. There are things bigger than us, and sometimes they're not enough."
Final message: "I would ask for respect for a group that fought to exhaustion. I remembered the match in Rio Maior against Casa Pia, SC Braga in the League Cup, as negative examples that happen during the season. Other than that? I am extremely proud of these people. Maybe even more than of teams where I won."
