Roma held an open media today for the Budapest clash.

Mourinho said: "Since Mendilibar arrived at Sevilla, everything has changed.

"Internally, the team has improved a lot from a human point of view. It's an honor to play against Mendilibar."

The Portuguese coach continued to praise the role of the former Eibar coac: "He is part of a group of coaches with great work in small teams.
