Two-time victor Mourinho, who won both his finals with Porto (2004) and Inter Milan (2010), says the pressure is on the Liverpool boss, but insists he is a ‘positive guy’ who only thinks about winning.“Being a manager and understanding what it means for a manager to play a Champions League final, there is always a negative side of it and the negative side is that one team is going to lose it,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.. “If Jurgen wins, it is an incredible achievement for him, if Jurgen doesn’t win… you know, to lose three Champions League finals has to be really, really hard.“But in this moment, he is a positive guy and I think he just thinks about winning.”
