Mourinho dismisses repeat of ajax miracle claims spurs trophy close
It seems like Jose Mourinho has responded to claims that Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League run is a repeat of Ajax's "Miracle of Istanbul" in 2005.
For those who may not know, Ajax came back from a 3-0 halftime deficit to defeat Liverpool 5-3 in the Champions League final, considered one of the greatest comebacks in football history.
Mourinho, the current Tottenham manager, has dismissed the comparison, saying that his team's achievements are not a repeat of the Miracle of Istanbul. He believes that Spurs' success is a result of their hard work and dedication, rather than a fluke or a miracle.
Mourinho also emphasized that Spurs are close to winning a trophy, which is a significant achievement in itself. He believes that his team has the quality and depth to compete with the best teams in Europe and that they are on the right track to achieve their goals.
It's worth noting that Mourinho has a reputation for being a bit of a contrarian, so it's not surprising that he would dismiss the comparison and focus on his team's achievements rather than dwelling on the past.
