Real Madrid's win was exciting - maybe a little too exciting

LYON, France - Jose Mourinho admitted his Real Madrid side at last ending its winless record against French side Lyon at the Stade de Gerland with a 2-0 victory in their Champions League group match was an important moment.

However, the Portuguese - known as the "Special One" after huge success at Porto and then Chelsea - added he wanted such occasions to become normal for a side he claimed has a greater history than any other side, including bitter rival Barcelona.

"Before I came to the club, Madrid always lost when they played here, but under me we have managed one draw and a win in Lyon, despite the fact that tonight (Wednesday) they created lots of problems for us," he said.
