Mourinho Declares Fenerbahce Better Than Rangers Ahead of Europa League Clash

Ahead of the Europa League last-16 second leg, Jose Mourinho claimed that his Fenerbahce team is better than Rangers despite their 3-1 loss in the first leg. He acknowledged that Fenerbahce deserved to lose last week but remains confident about overturning the deficit at Ibrox. Mourinho challenged Rangers' interim boss Barry Ferguson to adopt an attacking approach, noting that Rangers fans may not accept a defensive strategy at home. Ferguson, aware of Mourinho's tactics, warned his players to expect a determined Fenerbahce side. Additionally, Fenerbahce will be missing key players, including Allan Saint-Maximin and defender Caglar Soyuncu, which could impact their chances. Despite these challenges, Mourinho is focused on preparing his team for the match, emphasizing his belief in their potential to qualify.
