Renowned manager José Mourinho has raised eyebrows with his latest remarks on officiating in European competitions, suggesting that his teams might be facing consequences from the infamous 2023 Europa League final in Budapest.
Speaking after his latest match, Mourinho voiced frustration over key refereeing decisions, linking them to his past suspension:
“I hope everything that’s happened to me in European competitions is not a consequence of the Budapest final and I hope it’s just random.”
The Portuguese tactician, who saw his AS Roma side miss out on Champions League qualification due to a controversial last-minute penalty, questioned the consistency of VAR decisions, stating:
“Today we come here and the VAR, considered one of the best, didn’t see one of three clear penalties. I just hope it’s random.”
Mourinho, who served a ban for his fiery post-Budapest rants, now prays his team’s misfortunes are mere bad luck rather than lingering UEFA vendettas.
With his latest comments, the “Special One” reignites debate over officiating bias—coincidence or conspiracy?
