Jose Mourinho has continued to snipe at Manchester City by claiming the
club should have won more trophies considering their huge spending.
With Chelsea travelling to the Etihad Stadium on Monday for what could
prove a crucial fixture in this season’s title race, Mourinho has
already goaded Manuel Pellegrini by claiming City have been “lucky” with
refereeing decisions this season.
The Blues boss has now insisted the Premier League leaders have
underachieved since their takeover by Sheikh Mansour in 2008. Under
Pellegrini’s predecessor Roberto Mancini, City won an FA Cup in 2011 and
their first Premier League title for 44 years in 2012, but twice failed
to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
"They won one title, won a couple of cups," Mourinho said. "Only in
Europe they didn't do well, or close to doing well. Speaking
objectively, they did very bad in the Champions League in previous
seasons, also in the Europa League.
"But the team is fantastic, the squad is fantastic and normally they [should] win more titles."
