The quarter-finals are looming, as Premier League clubs hope to end their long wait for final success.

The last English team to get their hands on the trophy was Chelsea back in 2012.

Talk to Calciomercato, Mourinho said: "Favorites? I would say Juve and Barcelona.

"Everyone talks about Ronaldo and Messi – but I prefer to talk about Juve and Barca.


"The English teams, as well as Ajax and Porto, are good teams but do not have the same experience.

"When you have Ronaldo or Messi, it gives you a big plus."

The last eight clashes will take place the second week of April. Premier League champions Manchester City will face the Spurs while Barca face former Mourinho club United.

Mourinho also revealed that he was planning to return to management in June this year.

He says he's rejected "three or four" bids for recovery in the dugout since he was awarded the boot at Old Trafford in December.

"I would like to be back in summer in June for a new club and a new preseason", he told BeIN SPORTS.

"I know exactly what I do not want. I know what I want, not by the club in question, but by the nature of the work, the size of the work.

"I work, I prepare for the next one."
