Harsh message from Mourinho to Guardiola after reaching UCL final: “Look what he did in the second half vs Real Madrid”
Jose Mourinho is making history with Roma, who just led him to the Europa League final after winning after eliminating Bayer Leverkusen with a score (1-0).
In addition, he achieved his second consecutive European final in his second year at the Olympico in Rome and is on the verge of becoming one of the best coaches in the history of the “Giallorossi” club.
Likewise, the “Special One” has not changed and is also still one of the best coaches in the press room, as it showed after securing its ticket to the Europa League final against Sevilla in Budapest.
The Portuguese wanted to remember Pep Guardiola, the coach who qualified for the Champions League final after destroying Real Madrid 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium, and left him a small message about the difference in the budget and the lineup of the two teams.
Mourinho wanted to show Roma deserved to reach this final and he did so by emphasizing the difference between his team and Manchester City’s.
Jose said: “The only teams that do not suffer are those exceptional teams that have on the bench players for 40 or 70 million euros. If you look at the semi-finals of City and Madrid, they pushed Julian Alvarez, Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez in the second half”.
He added, “If we lose four or five players, we suffer. this is normal. At Roma, we have injured players and the others who didn’t have a transfer fee have to come in. We invested only 7 million euros in the market and we are in the final. What we did is extraordinary.”
