He first said the line in 2014
Jonathan David netted the decisive goal in the 118th minute from the spot.
A penalty was controversially given after Jayden Oosterwolde was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box.
The decision needed VAR to intervene but after Spanish referee Sanchez Martinez looked at the replay he was sure to give a penalty.
David made no mistake from the spot as he sent Lille through with a 2-1 aggregate victory.
Mourinho, 61, was left fuming with the decision as he claimed after the game that Martinez was quick to “load his ink” against him.
The manager will have the consolation of seeing his side feature in the Europa League.
However, he was wary with his words in his press conference as he replaced his iconic line.
He said: “We can do very well in the Europa League, but if… I prefer not to continue with this sentence.

“Because if I say it, I will get into trouble.”
Mourinho first said the line when he was asked about referee Chris Foy’s performance when Aston Villa beat his Chelsea side 1-0 back 2014.
Mourinho was not happy with the penalty decision as he did speak more on the incident.
He said: “It’s better not to talk about the penalty. When I look at other incidents that have happened to me recently,
“Only the referee knows why it was a penalty, only the VAR knows. I’m proud of my team.”
The spot-kick was not Mourinho’s only gripe with the officials as he also was critical of the referee not stopping time wasting.
He added: “This [not wasting time] is the referee’s job, he has to respect the game. He has to make the players respect it.
“I can’t criticise the opposing teams.
“They also try to get a result. If they showed a yellow card in the first 20 minutes, everything would change, but they don’t.”
Meanwhile, the former Chelsea boss is eyeing a reunion with Manchester City ace Mateo Kovacic before the transfer window shuts.
