After the game, you have the leader of an organisation, José Mourinho, who basically attacks the character of Vinícius Jr., by bringing in the type of celebration to discredit what Vinicius is doing in this moment. For me, in terms of leadership, it is a huge mistake. It is something we should not accept. I am very clear on that.

Mourinho was at the centre of controversy last night in the Champions League after Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr reported racial abuse to the referee from Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni, claims that Prestianni denies. Mourinho, however, was unsympathetic to these very serious accusations, claiming, When you score a goal like that, you celebrate in a respectful way, and stating, this club, the last thing that it is, is racist, given that former striker, Eusebio, was black.

The atmosphere at the Estadio da Luz was electric as Mourinho faced the club he famously led between 2010 and 2013. However, the evening turned sour for the Portuguese manager late in the second half. Mourinho's fury was ignited when the referee refused to show a second yellow card to Vinicius Junior after the Brazilian appeared to foul Richard Rios.

Jose Mourinho is reportedly not among those being considered as Celtic's next head coach, while manager of the month in Portugal, Ian Cathro, plays down chances of him returning to coaching in Scotland.

Barcelona's interest is easy to understand, as the right-back position at the club has lacked long-term stability for years. Despite multiple investments and short-term fixes, Barça have struggled to find a player who can fully establish himself in the role and offer sustained competition to Jules Kounde. The recent arrival of Joao Cancelo has helped ease the situation, but the club see that move as temporary rather than a lasting solution.

I saw him make Cristiano Ronaldo cry in the locker room, a man who gives his all on the pitch, because for once he didn't chase the opposing full-back,

According to a recent report from A Bola, Jose Mourinho has personally stepped in after learning of FC Barcelona's interest in Nicolas Otamendi. The Portuguese coach has urged Benfica to move quickly and secure the Argentine defender's future with a contract renewal. The report suggests that Mourinho and Benfica president Rui Costa are fully aligned on the issue. Both believe that Otamendi remains far too important to lose, especially to a direct European rival like Barcelona.

Sir Bobby Robson's son had a precious piece of hand luggage he needed to get back in one piece - a Ballon d'Or world coach of the year award. The gong was donated by Jose Mourinho for a charity auction in the name of his late mentor in 2011. It went on to help raise 26,000 for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, which aims to find more effective ways to detect and treat cancer.

That's the worst situation I've dealt with in terms of abuse,

Chelsea will host Benfica and Jose Mourinho in tonight's UCL action at Stamford Bridge. Jose Mourinho will return to Chelsea, where he won 3 Premier League titles, including two back-to-back, three League Cups, and an FA Cup in two spells in charge of the club. Chelsea come into this game off the back of a disappointing 3-1 home loss to Brighton at the weekend, where goals from Danny Welbeck & Maxim De Cuyper sank the Blues.

The room is named after Ted Drake, the author of Chelsea's first title, and features images of a host of club legends: a beaming Carlo Ancelotti, one of Antonio Conte kissing the Premier League trophy and, as Enzo Maresca no doubt noted as he arrived to preview his young side's Champions League tie with Benfica, three photographs of the manager whose latest return to west London conjures wistful memories of the days when Chelsea were the most feared team in England.
