Renowned for his volcanic temperament, José Mourinho can sometimes crack the armor…
If José Mourinho never misses the opportunity to show his strong character, the Special One is not an insensitive character. Mourinho demonstrated this through a touching anecdote which says a lot about his competitive temperament.
The scene took place more than a decade ago, in 2012. Then coach of Real Madrid, Mourinho thought he would lead the White House to the top of Europe, but his team was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League, just like FC Barcelona. It was ultimately Bayern Munich and Chelsea, executioners of the two Spanish giants, who reached the final, before the English club’s coronation.
” I cried “
In an interview for Prime Video, Mourinho admits to having been very touched by this episode, in the same way as superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
“ I cried on the way home after the Bayern defeat, that’s the only time I did it » he said, before mentioning CR7. “ Later, I get a call from Jorge Mendes: “Do me a favor: go to Cristiano because he’s dead.” I told him, “I’m dead too.” But I did it, get ready, no tears and let’s go to Cristiano’s house. We have been destroyed“. An unimaginable scene for these two big names in Portuguese football.
