Ispadanje Josea Mourinha s Manchester Unitedom iz Lige prvaka britanski mediji dočekali su kao budala šamar. Čim je sudac oglasio kraj susreta između United i Seville na Old Traffordu (1:2), mediji su udarili i još ne staju udarati po portugalskog stručnjaku, od kojeg navijači čak traže i ostavku.

Ipak, mediji nisu propustili pohvaliti sjajnu večer Seville, koja je odigrala pametnu, ali i vrlo hrabru utakmicu, što se ne može reći za Mourinha.

"Depresivni United ispao iz Lige prvaka! Super Sevilla, Ben Yedder zabio dva gola i kaznio Mourinhovu lošu taktiku", piše britanski Mail.

"Mourinho konfuzan i zapanjen. Nije znao kako da vodi vlastite igrače. Sevilla zasluženo izbacila United", piše BBC.

"Nakon defanzivnog i depresivnog pristupa Mourinhova momčad ispala je iz Lige prvaka", piše Mirror.

"Katastrofa Josea i očajnog Uniteda. Navijači traže Mourinhovu ostavku", prenosi The Sun.

Ispadanje Mourinhovog Uniteda odjeknulo je i u ostatku Europe, pogotovo Italiji odakle dolazi trener Seville - Vincenzo Montella.

"Kakav fiasko Mourinha i Uniteda", piše Gazzetta.

"Montella eliminirao Mourinha", prenosi Corriere, dok Tuttosport dodaje:

"Eliminacija Mourinha oslobodila ironiju na društvenim mrežama".

Navijači nisu imali milosti, a to se dobro vidi u njihovim komentarima.

Mourinho je čak pokušao smanjiti važnost Unitedovog ispadanja u Ligi prvaka, pa je izjavio da to "nije ništa novo za klub", jer ga je on kao menadžer Porta i Real Madrida već dva puta izbacio iz Lige prvaka.

Naravno, takva izjava naišla je na nove salve kritika, ali i sprdnje na račun portugalskog stručnjaka, koji "očito zna napadati jedino na konferencijama za novinare".

Ono što bi Mourinha definitivno moglo zaboliti kao trenera je činjenica da je čovjek, kojeg je toliko puta omalovažavao kada je o njemu govorio, otišao korak dalje u Ligi prvaka od njega. Naravno riječ je o Davidu Moyesu, čovjeku koji je doživio debakl na klupi Crvenih vragova.

The only person to blame is the Manager. It doesn’t matter that it’s Jose Mourinho. Wrong tactics, wrong players. #MUFC

Only Mourinho is to blame for this result. Tactics wrong from minute 1, firing balls up to Fellaini not the answer.

Never seen such a bad couple of performances than this. Always playing a dangerous game when you don't score an away goal. Mourinho has to take responsibility. Fucking tripe

An absolutely ludicrous approach to the entire tie, and nothing less than Manchester United deserve. Miserable from Jose Mourinho, and we have to assume this is his doing.

Well, turns out you can't shithouse your way to the Champions League like you can the Europa League. Mourinho has the answer to his question.

Man United get exactly what they deserve. Mourinho has got this so so wrong.

You know what's the worst thing about this? People will still somehow find excuses for Mourinho. This Sevilla team is average this season, La Liga teams are toying with them. And in this tie, they looked like Pep's Barça.

Absolutely terrible performance due to horrific management by Jose Mourinho. Sevilla will go out next round whoever they play. Only slight consolation is we were never going to win it anyway. Embarrassing defensive approach by Mourinho.

— Sarah Adams (@Mufc_Sarah) March 13, 2018

This one is absolutely on Mourinho. He's over-complicated a second round tie to a mediocre Sevilla side who can't defend for toffee. You'd hope he'll learn a lesson from this, but you doubt it.

— Chris Cooper (@chrislovescass) March 13, 2018

This tie is 100% Jose Mourinho’s fault.

Tried to shithouse his way and got found out.
