Jose Mourinho has added to speculation surrounding his Real Madrid future by refusing to guarantee he will remain with the club next season.

A 2-0 win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semi-final return fixture on Tuesday was not enough for Real to overturn a 4-1 deficit from the first leg.

When asked if he would still be with Madrid next season, Mourinho, who has been consistently linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu, told ITV: "Maybe not. I want to be where people love me to be."

"I have a contract, respect for the club and the president. I want to play the (Copa del Rey) final, finish the season, finish second," the Madrid coach later told Sky Sports, before strongly hinting a return to Chelsea could be a possibility.

"I know I'm loved in England. Loved by the fans, the media. I know I'm loved by some clubs - especially one. In Spain it's different - some people hate me. It's difficult to make a decision because I like the club. I like the president."

Borussia Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp was delighted to see his side reach the Champions League final with a 4-3 aggregate win over Real Madrid.

The Bundesliga outfit went into the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu with a 4-1 lead, but two late goals from Jose Mourinho's men set up a tense finale.

AFC Champions League Wrap: Quartet book last-16 place

Central Coast Mariners, Beijing Guoan, Bunyodkor and Al Hilal have all secured a safe passage into the last 16 of the AFC Champions League.

Last season’s semi-finalists, Bunyodkor, drew 1-1 against three-time champions Pohang Steelers to progress into the knock-out stages for the sixth season running.

ZANETTI SET FOR LENGTHY TIME ON THE SIDELINE

Inter defender Javier Zanetti is set for six months on the sidelines following successful Achilles tendon surgery.

The club captain, who has made close to 850 appearances for the Italian side, ruptured his Achilles during Sunday’s Serie A defeat to Palermo.

But, after operating on the 39-year-old, Professor Franco Benazzo has revealed that everything went to plan.

"The operation was a complete success, it lasted around an hour, an hour and a quarter," he said.

"How long will it take him to recover? He'll have his foot in a cast for the next three weeks and won't be able to walk on it, then he will start to walk in phase two of his physiotherapy.

BALE THE KING
