Mourinho now believes his former side lacks the ability to challenge the two clubs who are currently the front-runners for the title. “From the outside, I think they will finish between fourth and sixth. That is my point of view and I don’t think they are a team capable of fighting for the top two, of course,” Mourinho was quoted saying. “I think it would be a good achievement for them to finish top four and make it back to the Champions League,” he added.
