Jose Mourinho was emotional in the aftermath of Roma’s win over Leicester on Thursday night, but he was still composed enough to direct a cheeky dig towards one of his many rivals.
Roma beat the Foxes 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico to progress to the final of the Europa Conference League and present Mourinho with an opportunity to add another trophy to his collection. It was a grand occasion in Rome and Mourinho was in tears upon the full-time whistle.
Speaking afterwards in his post-match press conference, he paid tribute to his players, their “extraordinary” performance and singled out goal scorer Tammy Abraham for particular praise. Then, he changed tack, to send a message to Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti.
