"Special One" coach Jose Mourinho (64) took the "big fish" Real Madrid and made a harsh comment.
Benfica, led by Mourinho, won 4-2 at home in the eighth leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) league phase against Real Madrid at Istadieu da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal, on the 29th (Korea time).
As a result, Benfica dramatically advanced to the round of 16 (PO) with 3 wins and 5 losses (9 points, difference of 2 points). There are a total of five teams with nine points along with Benfica, including Bodeau/Glimt, Marseille, Paphos and Winion Sengziluas, but the joys and sorrows were mixed due to the difference between gains and losses. Vaud/Glimt came in 23rd and Benfica came in 24th.
In the round of 16 of the UCL, the teams ranked 1st to 8th in the league phase will go directly, and the remaining 8 teams will be determined through POs from 9th to 24th. Benfica will face Bodo/Glimt in PO for the round of 16. Real, who was hit by Benfica, also failed to go straight to the round of 16. He ranked ninth with five wins and three losses (15 points).
On this day, Benfica did not lose ground against Real, the strongest in Europe. Kylian Mbappe scored the first goal in the 30th minute of the first half, but Andreas Shelderup balanced it with an equalizer six minutes later. Van Zelis Pavlidis then scored a come-from-behind goal with a penalty (PK) in the extra time of the first half.
Benfica, which brought the atmosphere, ran away 3-1 in the 9th minute of the second half with Shelderup scoring an additional goal. However, he allowed Mbappe to score a chasing goal in the 13th minute of the second half.
Benfica continued a one-goal lead but needed an extra goal. This is because not only three points but also the difference between gains and losses are considered in the final match, where 18 games are held at the same time.
In response, Mourinho made a bold choice. In the 8th minute of extra time in the second half, he ordered goalkeeper Anatoly Truvin to participate in the attack. Troubin then shook the net with a header from the kick that flew to the gate. Mourinho was delighted with the wild ride.
There is another reason why this victory is even more special for Mourinho. This is because he is a team that shared the glory of his prime as a coach, leading Real in the past and winning the King's Cup in the 2010-2011 season and the Spanish Primera Liga in the 2011-2012 season. Now he has defeated his old team, which he met as an enemy.
In an interview shortly after the game, Mourinho enjoyed the joy of victory and at the same time did not forget to speak ill of the critics who shook him. According to the Daily Post, he joked, "I hope that people who say bad things about me, and that we won't kill themselves (in shock tonight).
Mourinho, who dramatically survived after catching "Big Fish" Real in the danger of being eliminated, fired a delightful shot at the forces that suspected him. It was a expression of confidence like "Special One."
