Jose Mourinho reveals Cristiano Ronaldo was 'in love' with Karim Benzema at Real Madrid because of his unselfishness and backs the France star to shine at Euro 2020 and 'bring the best' out of Kylian Mbappe

Jose Mourinho has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo was 'in love' with Karim Benzema at Real Madrid and is backing the striker to star at this summer's European Championship.

The former Madrid boss opened up about the top Euro 2020 strikers he has worked with in the past, including Ronaldo, Benzema, Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku in his column for The Sun.

The Portuguese manager believes France now have an 'amazing' attacking force after welcoming back Benzema from his six-year international exile and is backing the Madrid star to bring the best out of Kylian Mbappe similarly to how Kane did with Son Heung-Min during his tenure at Tottenham.
