Jose Mourinho's coached Istanbul "Fenerbahce" had a very unsuccessful start to the UEFA Europa League Round of 16.

The Turkish giant had to acknowledge the superiority of Glasgow "Rangers" at home, losing 1:3.

Despite the painful defeat, J. Mourinho stated after the match that he was satisfied with the result based on the team’s performance.

"We played very poorly. You might criticize me for this, but to me, this is a good result.

We deserved such a defeat. But if you want to ask whether the series is already over, I can boldly say that it is definitely not.

I advise the opponents not to celebrate too much, as we still have a return match ahead. If we get eliminated after the second meeting, I will definitely congratulate the opponents, but for now, I wish them to calm down a bit,” J. Mourinho explained.
