The real event that marked the match happened after the match. Jose Mourinho went and pinched Okan Buruk's nose. This was a very bad move. Mourinho played 3 matches against Galatasaray this year and lost 2 and drew 1. He lost both matches at his home field. The final images did not suit a man like Mourinho. Fenerbahçe was eliminated from the cup with this result.
It's strange that I only see that Galatasaray played 2 games against Fenerbahce this year, the first game was in February at Galatasaray's home where there was a draw and the second game was yesterday where Fenerbahce lost, even on this website:
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/04/03/lBH4w.pnghttps://livescores.biz/h2h/fenerbahce-vs-galatasarayIt is showing two. Maybe it is a mistake by Google and also by this site. Anyway, I have seen many people criticizing Mourinho for Fenerbahce's performance, but I want to remember that Jorge Jesus, who is a good coach and who won titles in the Portuguese league, in the Brazilian league, in the Saudi league, was unable to win the Turkish league when he was Fenerbahce's coach. In my opinion, Fenerbahce's problem is not about the coaches.
Jorge Jesus is not in Jose Mourinho managerial level. With due respect to the leagues you have mentioned above, but those leagues are not as competitive to the leagues Mourinho has managed. Mourinho has managed at the highest stages at Europe. When someone is not living up to expectations, let's criticise the person so he will know that he's not doing a fine job. Looking for justification for Mourinho's poor performance in the Turkish league is not making sense. A coach of his class should be doing better.
