Mourinho's fantasy world

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho needs to be humble in defeat. He should not be such a sore loser, claiming everytime his team loses that they did so to an inferior team.

However his remarks last night after being soundly beaten by a technically superior Barcelona was simply pick of the best. It just proves that Jose does indeed live in his own fantasy world.

Asked by ITV Sports if the better team (Barcelona) had won over the two legs, the self-styled special one said:

"I don't think so."

Hello? Was he watching the same tie between the two teams. No doubt Chelsea is flying high in the Premier League. But at the Champions League two-leg tie, no one was left with any doubt which team played better.

Barcelona simply had too many magical performers to out-run and out-manourve Chelsea. That was evident in the game in Stamford Bridge and last night at Nou Camp. Chelsea's midfield just could not cope with the flair of Ronaldinho and Co.

But how does Jose see the end result? Here are some of his funny quotes:

"Barcelona haven't won against 11 players, so that's all I can say. We were
playing with 10 players for most of the first leg so we haven't seen two games
where we had 11 against 11."

How funny that this manager could come up with such classic lines everytime his team fails to produce the goods.

Remember last year's Champions League semis against Liverpool. Well, he still insists the Liverpool goal never crossed the line and questions Liverpool's moral intergrity in that victory. Never mind if Liverpool did go on to win the Champions League for the fifth time.

And again, his vocal outpouring becomes endless when he sees other players diving in the game. However if it is his own players, only an eerie silence follows from the special one.

Many football fans do not hate Chelsea for their new found money and success. It's the manager's lack of humility that is turning the team into such an embarassment.
