Mourinho Prints 'Red Card' Screenshots After Derby Defeat
Jose Mourinho turned his post-match press conference into a visual protest, brandishing printed screenshots of two incidents he insists were red cards.
What happened. Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho arrived at his post-match news conference carrying an A4 sheet of printed paper with screenshots displaying two incidents he believed should have resulted in Atletico Madrid dismissals. Mourinho accused the officials of making key errors after Real Madrid were beaten 2-1 by Atletico Madrid, claiming the hosts should have been handed two red cards in the first half.
- Mourinho said the two incidents were 'clear red cards' and argued the outcome would have been different with 11 against nine.
- Diego Simeone responded by saying he is always respectful of everyone else's opinions.
- It was Real Madrid's second defeat of the season, following a 1-0 loss to Real Betis.
“We can skip the press conference because the story of the match is right here.”
