Mourinho reacts to second leg loss

Post-match reaction from Turkey
after Real Madrid progressed into
the semi-finals of the UEFA
Champions League despite a 3-2
loss to Galatasaray in the second
leg of their quarter-final tie.
Real Madrid reached the
Champions League semi-finals for
the third successive season after
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice on
Tuesday in a 3-2 loss to
Galatasaray following a second-
half resurgence by the Turkish
team.
Madrid advanced 5-3 on
aggregate but only after conceding
three goals in a 16-minute span to
raise Galatasaray's hope of pulling
off what would have been an epic
comeback.
Ronaldo appeared to have eased
Madrid into the next round with
his eighth-minute opener.
And the Portugal forward scored
again in stoppage time, but not
before Galatasaray came alive with
Emmanuel Eboue's 57th-minute
leveller.
Galatasaray midfielder Wesley
Sneijder scored in the 71st before
Didier Drogba added another goal
a minute later.
