Benfica, who are third in Portugal’s Primeira Liga, host the first leg of the tie at the Estadio da Luz on Tuesday at 20:00 GMT.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese side looked to be heading out of the competition on goals scored, despite leading Madrid 3-2 with seconds remaining.<\/p>\n
But Benfica were awarded a free-kick against nine-man Real, who had Raul Asencio and Rodrygo sent off in added time, and Ukraine goalkeeper Trubin headed past opposite number Thibaut Courtois. <\/p>\n
Mourinho said the tie will be “very demanding, without a doubt”. <\/p>\n
He added: “Trubin won’t be in the attack at the Luz stadium. I’m very used to these kinds of ties.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been doing it all my life. People often think you need a certain result in the first leg for this or that reason. I say there is no definitive result.”<\/p>\n
The victory last month was Mourinho’s first over his former club and meant Benfica reached the knockout stages despite losing their first four games in the league phase.<\/p>\n
Real, meanwhile, are top of the La Liga table, two points clear of rivals Barcelona in second place. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Benfica, who are third in Portugal’s Primeira Liga, host the first leg of the tie at the Estadio…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483863,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-483862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
