On Tuesday, Fenerbahce lost its chances of advancing to the Champions League group stage. Jose Mourinho missed the opportunity to return to the strongest European football tournament.

The experienced Portuguese is not disheartened by this and sees good chances for his team to go far in the Europa League, with one condition. This is a condition that Mourinho did not specify.

After the match against Lille, J. Mourinho spoke: "Fenerbahce should never have the chance to reach the Champions League final... so we are preparing to play in the Europa League, and in the Europa League if... if... I don't want to elaborate further."

However, there is a possibility to achieve a lot in the Europa League if... I can't speak beyond the if... if I do, I will get into trouble."

The Turkish vice-champions were eliminated from the Champions League by Jonathan David's decisive goal in extra time.

Clubs that reached the decisive qualifying round of the Champions League: Slovan, Bodo Glimt, RB Salzburg, Malmo, Midtjylland, Qarabag, Prague's Sparta, Prague's Slavia, Kyiv's Dynamo.
