Mourinho later said: "I've won five finals and I lost this one, but I'm coming back home proud again. The boys gave everything.
"We are all attached to the shirt, to our nature. We take things seriously and humbly, we work a lot. Everyone reacts in a different way: one cries, the other doesn't. The truth is that we are all very sad, with or without crying. Great match, great final intense, vibrant.
"We felt pressure against a team that has more talent than us. We lost a game but not dignity. I've never gone home prouder than today, even when I won. We had also worked hard on penalties but... we missed two but all together, not only the penalty takers.
