Mourinho: "The best team lost"

[Daniel 7]

He is a repeating record that bloke.

[BobTheCharmer]

I actually enjoy mourinho. He's arrogant but he's become a caricature of himself. I just don't take him seriously. He says what he needs to say to protect his players and put doubt amongst others. He isn't killing people, he's just mourinho. I hate fergie 1000 times more.

Mourinho: "The best team lost"

He'll be going on about this for years just like the ghost goal.

Jose Mourinho felt Chelsea were the best team against Bayern Munich in the Super Cup

Jose Mourinho felt the best team lost after Chelsea were beaten by Bayern Munich in a penalty shoot-out and he also questioned Ramires' red card in the European Super Cup.

Romelu Lukaku's miss in the shoot-out handed Bayern the trophy in Prague after Chelsea had twice led through goals from Fernando Torres and Eden Hazard.

Javi Martinez's equaliser with the last kick of the game sent the match into a shoot-out after Chelsea keeper Petr Cech had pulled off a string of fine saves.

Chelsea had earlier been reduced to 10 men when Ramires collected a second yellow card for a foul on Mario Gotze with five minutes of normal time remaining and Mourinho was in no doubt about who had been the best team.

"They take the cup, but the best team lost," Mourinho told Sky Sports. "For me, we were by far the best team because they had 15 minutes in the second half where they dominated us, but we always had the game under control.

"Even with 10 men, the team played fantastic in that situation and clearly the best team lost."

Regarding Ramires' dismissal, which came about after the Brazilian midfielder caught Gotze on the follow-through, Mourinho was unhappy with the decision.

When asked if the referee was right to send off Ramires, Mourinho replied: "I don't think so. Maybe the television will show a different thing, maybe you have a different opinion or maybe the referee specialist says yes.

"I think there is a very important rule in the game which is passion for the game, and the referee must have passion for the game.

"The game, 11 v 11, would be much better. It was not a situation where Ramires hurt the opponent, it was not a situation where the opponent was on a dangerous counter-attack, it was not a situation where you have to show the second yellow card.

"This is my history with UEFA since a long, long time. I prefer not to say.

"I will stick just with a very clear idea that the best team lost, that's enough."

Same.

[Mattimetal]

Why are no journos castigating him for giving the decisive pen in a final to a 21 year old kid, who looked like he'd shat himself on his way to the taking the pen? That's in no ****ing way 'special' management qualities whichever way you look at it! Lukaku prob thinks he's the 'Special cnut'

Delighted though... You couldn't have written a better script, they let in the equaliser with 8 secs to go, when Jose had been trying to jeer up support from the plastic fans, and also looking to rub in the victory to his nemesis PEP for the past 5 mins!

[Kenneth]

21 year olds aren't kids though. He's a striker with fifty premier league games under his belt. A pen in a glorified friendly game seems reasonable enough.

Yep. Gets a lot of stick but I like him.

I think (hope) he means Lukaku not Maureen

Mourinho: "The best team lost"

Just saw that. Pathetic, they were a pack of animals who had the occasional good attack. They're a vile club, always have been but their conduct on the pitch hasn't been too bad in recent years with the likes of Ancelotti and Rafa there, managers with class but now you can see the bad habits coming back again. Torres should have had a red last night aswell for that assault on Javi Martinez and Ramires one should have been a straight red not second yellow. The Ivanovic elbow v Villa etc.

[RedAndWhite]

Before the sending off they showed a stat of 450/60 passes by Bayern to 170/80 Chelsea - or something similar.

Barcelona 3-0 up against Valencia.

Messi have scored all three.
