Cesc Fábregas: "It was with José Mourinho that I had the best connection. The way he dealt with my mind was incredible. I played with some other great managers. With Pep and with Wenger I played the kind of football that I love. But I had a very special year with Mourinho."
So, Messi quits elite football at 35, three years earlier than Ronaldo. Presumably, we'll now read/hear all the same scathing, mocking pieces by sportswriters/pundits that they wrote/said about Cristiano - right? (Spoiler alert: we won't.)
When Zlatan Ibrahimović asked José Mourinho to be subbed off and didn't give his best on the pitch because he felt tired.
Mourinho replied by purposely subbing off 3 other players, including the goalkeeper Julio Cesar...😂
Icons🙌🐐

Don't believe everything you read on the internet, some ppl try to rewrite history for their own narrative, so do your own research
Jose Mourinho won 2 trebles, with Porto (03) & with Inter Milan (2010)
UEFA are reviewing the decisions made by referee Anthony Taylor in the Europa League final.
According to reports in Italy, UEFA largely agree with Roma and Mourinho about his performance.
The official is now at risk of missing similar big games on the European stage.

It’s sad it had to come to this - the records will show that Sevilla won gold, but the football world should remember how Mourinho and his team of warriors limited a strong Sevilla to virtually zero big chances, and was denied the most dubious penalty in recent history. It’s not right.
When a ref in the person of Anthony Taylor point quickly to the spot when clearly Ibanez touched the ball but was lackadaisical to even check Fernando's penalty which clearly is, is all you need to understand about the agenda against Jose Mourinho.
Man of the match performance.
Taking this terrible Roma team to back to back European finals was already an overachievement.
Jose Mourinho still remains one of the greatest managers of all time.
José Mourinho: "The truth is that we are all very sad, with or without crying the truth is this. We will get home dead of tiredness and dead because of tonight's unfair refereeing display."
"Great game, great final, intense, gritty, vibrant, but the referee seemed Spanish."
@EuropaLeague How did y’all arrive at Anthony Taylor being the referee for the final?
How do you make a douche like this the ref? Y’all are corrupt like FIFA!
Gutted for Roma
They deserved to win tonight
In 130 minutes, Sevilla created not a single chance. They had a long shot & scored an own goal
Roma had 4 CLEAR chances, scored 1
The luck was with Sevilla. Congrats to them again
P.S the ref was a disgrace
