The Spanish daily Marca reported on the 12th (Korea time) about the clash between Mourinho and Galatasaray striker Mauro Icardi.
It started with Mourinho's SNS post. On the 4th, Mourinho posted a post congratulating his motherland Portugal's national team on advancing to the semifinals of the handball World Cup. He added "We reached the semi-finals in a great way at the handball World Cup, which ended last Sunday. These achievements will affect our nation's youth." Contrary to the content of the article, he posted a photo of Galatasaray defender Davinson Sanchez's handball foul.
On the 4th, in the 22nd round of the Turkiye Schiffer League in the 2024-2025 season against Gaziantep and Galatasaray at Gaziantep Stadium, the ball hit Sanchez's hand in the penalty box. However, the referee declared no foul, and the game ended in Galatasaray's 1-0 victory. Fenerbahce's manager Mourinho, who is chasing leader Galatasaray by three points, could be considered to have used Sanchez's handball capture photo as a 'strike'.
"Special One is creative when complaining about referees," he said, adding an emoji of 'Crying Face'.

Mourinho was asked about Ikard's post at a press conference before the European Euro League match against Anderlecht on the 12th. He said "I'm 'Special One'. He has won 26 titles in 25 years. My career is not defined by a single game."Icardi is 'GOAT', and he's too great 'GOAT', so I won't comment on it."
Marca interpreted that it seemed clear that Mourinho's reference to 'GOAT' was not short for 'Greatest of all time' but meant an animal, a goat. "The dictionary meaning of the goat is that it is a ruminant about 1 m tall, capable of jumping up steep places very nimbly, with short rough, often red fur, its horns curved back, a long bundle of fur hanging from its lower jaw, and a very short ring," he explained.
Mourinho started the game ahead of the 「Factual Final」 at Galatasaray on the 25th. It's a technique I've often used since my career at Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
