Mourinho blamed for Roma fans' verbal abuse of referee at airport

AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho is facing criticism following an incident at Budapest Airport, where referee Anthony Taylor was subjected to abuse by angry fans.

Taylor had officiated the Europa League final between Roma and Sevilla, which ended in a 1-1 draw and saw Sevilla emerge as the victors in a penalty shootout.

After the match, video footage captured Mourinho engaging in a heated confrontation with the referee in a car park, where he was heard using explicit language and referring to the Premier League as a “disgrace.”

This encounter has since been attributed to fuelling the anger of the fans who later targeted Taylor and his family at the airport.

The incident at the airport has gained significant attention on social media, with many individuals criticising the former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager, for his actions and comments, suggesting that they contributed to the fans’ behaviour.

Those scenes with Anthony Taylor and his family at Budapest airport are so horrible.

Book should thrown at Mourinho by the authorities.

This is a big part of the legacy of Jose Mourinho.If you followed the heated rivalry b/w Pep's Barça & Mou's Madrid from 2010 – 2012, you'd know that this is what he does.
