'My players were phenomenal,' Mourinho said. 'We managed to do something I love – bring the fans to the pitch. The last 15 minutes, there were 70,000 on the pitch against 11.
'I am happy with the way we played. We hit the post, we scored a fantastic goal, we were dominate, stopped our opponents playing. It's a very good feeling, as I was expecting.
'[But] I don't feel the same happiness because my brother is on the other side. Aitor Karanka did his job amazing. I feel for my brother and his players because they gave everything.'
