The Portuguese coach thinks that there are several teams stronger than the Seleccao, and acknowledged that Spain is rightly heavily favored to secure the title.
Portugal is not one of the top three teams at Euro 2012
The Seleccao are currently tied on points with Denmark in second place of Group B following Wednesday's 3-2 victory against the Scandinavians. A victory against Netherlands on Sunday could see Portugal survive the 'Group of Death', but Mourinho believes that there are a number of teams stronger than the Euro 2004 runner-up.

"I do not think that Portugal are one of the top two or three teams in the competition. But these are small tournaments and we will soon enter the knockout stages.
