English Teams Are Second Level In Champions League Says Mourinho

"I think the Champions League for these teams (big European sides) that you are speaking, and for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, I think for these teams the Champions League starts in February."

"Now is just the warming up and in February when us English teams, we are trying to survive after the winter period, they will be fresh and ready after these warm-ups."

"For them this is a warm-up. I think English teams are in the second level. And the second level is 'let's qualify'.

"Let's get the points to qualify for the knock-out phase and when we do that, if we do that, let's enjoy playing against the big guys."
