The Madrid manager seemed to be in good form – snarky – when he claimed that the UEFA translator changing an answer given in English into Spanish had missed out a large chunk of his response to a question from Dutch TV in regards to last season’s match which produced sudden yellow cards for his players and a UEFA suspension for Mourinho.
And to be fair to Mourinho, that had happened with the translator dutifully reporting that the Madrid coach was delighted to be back in Amsterdam but failing to reproduce his remarks that only he has been punished by the organisation for forcing yellow cards and not anyone else.
Asked by the press to repeat everything in Spanish, Mourinho huffed I’m not a translator – a claim that will never find agreement among Barcelona fans.
