Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand has admitted that being linked with a move to Real Madrid is a "great honour" as speculation regarding his future intensifies. The Danish international has emerged as a primary target for the Spanish giants ahead of a significant summer overhaul at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Jose Mourinho was far from happy with his Benfica side, as they scraped through the fourth round of the Taca de Portugal with a 2-0 win over minnows Atletico CP. The Special One unleashed an explosive post-match rant against his starting eleven, claiming he would have made nine substitutions at half time, if allowed. He went on to call some of his players' attitudes "unacceptable".
