José Mourinho: “Ibrahimović came into the dressing room and said to me ‘I’m leaving, I have to win the Champions League’.
My assistants were beside themselves as they thought that without him it would be impossible to win.
His teammates didn’t want to lose him either.
I was also worried, but I ended up saying ‘maybe you’ll leave and we’ll win’.
Then I said to [Marco] Branca ‘if he wants to go to Barcelona, we’ll try to sign [Samuel] Eto’o.’
He and [Diego] Milito could give something different to the team tactically.”
