Jose Mourinho arrived at Real Madrid in 2010 with the goal of introducing the famous 10th Champions League “Desima” to Merengo without being able to win the Champions League.
The Portuguese, whose reputation as a miracle worker preceded him, returned this time with only three titles in three years: one championship title – accompanied by a record 100 points – the King’s Cup and the Spanish Super Cup. However, the Portuguese technician played three semi-finals of the most prestigious European competitions with the White House without being able to reach the final.
The former FC Porto coach revealed today in Rome the most painful defeat of his football career. She was against Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the 2012-21 season. He lost the match on penalties.
“Defeat on penalties in the 2012 Champions League semi-final against Bayern is one of the most painful things in my career. Unfortunately, this is football. Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Sergio Ramos… Three complete football beasts but they are human beings (they wasted their shot). on goal).
That night was the only time in my coaching career that I cried after losing. It was very difficult because we were the best that year. We were the best team in Europe. We won the La Liga by breaking all records for points and goals and we would have won this final (against Chelsea), I have no doubts about that. The most cruel thing for me was that in the penalty shootout we chose Cristiano, Kaka and Sergio, the absolute certainty of a penalty kick. That these guys missed their attempt, it devastated me.
