The referee, Cihan Adyin, was unimpressed by Mourinho’s actions and issued a yellow card.
Mourinho later explained his reasoning, stating that the offside decision was incorrect and that the Fenerbahçe player was not offside.
“No offside”, Mourinho said after the game. “The left back was in a position where Dzeko was not offside, and in our perspective with the technical camera, that was clear for us.”
Mourinho’s actions have generated discussion and debate among fans and pundits.
While some admire his passion and commitment, others may question the appropriateness of his behavior.
Regardless, Mourinho’s antics continue to keep him in the spotlight and add a layer of intrigue to his managerial career.
Fenerbahce did end up winning the game 2-0 and closed the gap with leaders Galatasaray to three points.
