Furious Jose Mourinho attacks Ref, Anthony Taylor after Europa final lost
Jose Mourinho labelled English referee Anthony Taylor a 'f***ing disgrace' for 'bull****' decisions and confronted him while he tried to leave the Puskas Arena in an extraordinary row after the Europa League final.
Taylor was accused of ‘seeming Spanish’ for the number of yellow cards he doled out – 13, a record for a European final – after Mourinho’s Roma side were beaten on penalties by Sevilla in Budapest.
The Spanish side clinched a record extending seventh Europa League title after winning 4-1 in the shoot-out, following a 1-1 draw after extra time, but Mourinho. who gave his runner’s up medal to a Roma fan, was not about to make peace with his fate as he waited to angrily confront Taylor in the car park.
‘F***ing disgrace man, it’s a f***ing disgrace,’ Mourinho fumed, before switching to swear at the official in Italian. ‘F*** off,’ he continued.
Mourinho then approaches the mini-bus taking the referee away from the stadium where he snipes: ‘Congratulations, you f***ing disgrace’, before trudging off to the team bus.
