@harrymadridJose Mourinho thinks it's way too early to call Real Madrid favorites for the Champions League. The immediate target is just getting into the tournament stage, and once that happens, the next step is avoiding the playoffs. He feels reaching those milestones means needing a lot of points. Specifically, he says the team first needs to hit 11 or 12 points to guarantee qualification before worrying about earning enough to enter the top eight spots.
