His opposite number Hernan Torres agreed with Mourinho that the defeat, which was the worst in the club’s history, was a huge psychological blow.

“It is a blow to lose 8-0, but this is from players who have character and high status. We know that if we go forward we must improve our psychological state and also football skills. “ said the Millonarios head coach.
