Mourinho almost sparks a riot

Jose Mourinho almost sparked a riot after Inter Milan knocked Barcelona out of the Champions League on Wednesday. The Italians went through 3-2 on aggregate despite losing 1-0 at the Nou Camp. But while celebrating the victory afterwards by charging across the field, ‘The Special One’ was involved in an amazing bust-up with Barca ‘keeper Victor Valdes. Mourinho was grabbed by Valdes in a bear hug to try to prevent him from waving at supporters high in the top tier of the stadium. Mourinho eventually freed himself from the grip, with the Inter players then confronting Valdes. Barca supporters reacted by hurling hundreds of missiles at the former Chelsea boss as he tried to applaud his club’s supporters. And to make matters worse, the Barca groundsman then turned on the sprinklers and drenched the Inter players. Mourinho later described the win as “the most beautiful defeat of my life.”
