Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has admitted that he wasn't nervous despite Galatasaray's second-half comeback in their Champions League clash.

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has admitted that his side faced a tough ordeal in their Champions League win over Galatasaray but revealed that he wasn't nervous.

Madrid took a three goal lead into the game and quickly went 4-0 ahead when Cristiano Ronaldo netted early on.

However, three-goals from the home side made Mourinho's side fight to earn their position in the last four of the competition.

Mourinho told reporters: "I wasn't getting nervous because I have no time for it. I am on the bench so I have no time to think or to feel it.

"They are strong, strong mentally. They don't play against 11, they play 50,000 against 11 and it was hard for us. We are there, in the semi-finals and that is what that matters.

"It will be hard but now is the time to enjoy ourselves and not to be nervous or afraid."

Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are the two clubs so far to have secured their place in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
