"This game shows that we fully respect what Real Madrid stands for in the world of football and that we respect our profession and always play seriously. We weren't interested in knowing if Ajax or Lyon were looking to qualify behind us," Mourinho said on the Uefa website. "We played our own game and in my opinion we played an excellent first half. In the second half we weren't at the same standard but there were many players out there who aren't used to playing a lot and so keeping the rhythm up after the break wasn't easy. We defended well and winning is always important."Nobody was injured and practically all of the players who don't regularly play did so. They deserved it. We are a very united group."
