Agreed. He provokes people but using racist remarks to retaliate are acts of cowards and weaklings.

I understand that Mourinho canât just bury his own player based off of an accusation, even one which was apparently corroborated by MbappĂ© (and apparently some Benfica players heard Prescianni calling Vini a monkey, too).
But to say âOur greatest player is black, Benfica is not a racist clubâ is kinda like saying âI canât be racist, I have black friends.â Then to accuse Vini of provoking the Benfica fans. I mean, get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. Itâs a complete non sequitor that distracts from what allegedly happened. No one is accusing Benfica as a club of anything, and Vini dancing after a goal does not justify people throwing things at him, let alone racist abuse from any player.

Mourinho who of course has never provoked opposition fans with his own celebrations before.

That is a valid point on why did Prescianni cover his mouth with his shirt if he has nothing to hide? He must have said something really offensive.
José will always stick for his players in public.
I donât think Benfica FC is a racist club or their fans are racist. I think it is an isolated incident in Lisbon and tense game as it was a crucial Champions League game.
This incident does need to be investigated and Vinicius Jnr has been racially abused many times before which is horrendous, so i do feel sorry for him. I know he can be a right git at times , but I think his celebration was not over the top.

There is at least one fan who can be banned from this video here.
Hiding behind Eusebio to claim you canât be racist⊠hmmm as for provoking the crowd doesnât Mourinho do this after most wins?

This!! I dislike him and his entitled attitude. But nobody should be getting racially abused.

Thatâs very rich coming from the guy who built his career and image on winding up his opponents. Thereâs about 90% of personality I respect and even admire in Mourinho and Guardiola but the remaining 10% are absolutely despicable.

(For Pep itâs actually like 24%, that cunt makes me irrationally angry)

Didnât watch the game, only saw highlights and a few stupid images from it. Like Otamendi showing Vini his WC tattoo⊠really mature that. Do you want to see what Vini won and you didnât?
I donât know if anyone will be able to find out 100% what Prestianni said, but it was probably something bad.
All the rest is completely irrelevant to this isolated case, if it was Vini or someone else. We cannot go down the route of trying to calculate who started first, when it comes to his ârelationshipâ with crowds (especially in Spain), etc. Some things are non negotiable.
Yes, he likes to provoke and overdramatize sometimes. I didnât see anything wrong with the celebration and I also found it weird by Mourinho post-match with a cooler head trying to spin it in that way. Stupid yellow cards for celebrations, Iâd just leave them as it is.
Benficaâs kid did a stupid thing, perhaps he regrets it now (he looked scared in those minutes when Vini went over to report it), heâll probably get some punishment and thatâs it in terms of this case. Mbappe putting pressure that he should not play CL was also a bit weird, but understandable in the heath of the moment, trying to protect his teammate.

Imo, a bit of an unfair comparison to make. Mourinho goes out of his way to hurt people, to be a total asshole. Guardiola is just a bit of an ass at times. I donât really understand how one can compare the two as such.
Mourinho is quite often cruel. Never seen Guardiola be âcruelâ, just passionate, argumentative, arrogant and sometimes as ass.
Mourinho was an excellent manager, but I donât respect him as a human being. At the same time, I have no reason to say that I donât respect Guardiola as a human being. He just âplaysâ for the enemy with all the annoying things that comes with that, including various fallouts, banter and spats (none of whom can be called cruel as far as I remember).
Cruelty is my personal bar. I accept all sorts of shit from opposing players and managers, as they accept shit from us. Part of the game. But cruelty is not and when Mourinho is often publically cruel, one wonders how awful to other human beings he might be off camera.

Gordon can do it on a cool wednesday night in Azerbaijan, they can probably play the U18s in the return leg.

Morinho comes across as a has been. The rest us about keeping the job.
Weather looks nice for tonight:
No snowfall and not particularly cold (not much wind either).
I will watch the game with interest. I have missed a fair few of these Glimt games previously and resorted to replays (I prioritise watching Liverpool, after all). I donât want to miss this one, not against this opposition.

Yeah, I donât like this start. This game has started very different from the City game and the Madrid game.
Edit: Opened up now, so better.
Second edit: Now, this looks very, very nice. Win or lose, this is fun football. Every attack now feels dangerous.
Lots of people around Serie A hoping to see Inter have to really focus on the second leg.

1-0, brilliant 
Itâs rather insane what is happening and it seems like I am the only one on the forum talking about it. Sad, but if people want to miss the greatest football miracle in many decades (the Glimt Saga), then ok (but I cannot wrap my head around a neutral football fan watching any of the other games instead, as that makes absolutely no sense if you just know a little bit about football and actually like the sport)
It was a very lovely finish to be fair.

Very nice Inter chance. This game will be swingy as hell.
Very entertaining. 1-1. Unfortunate for Glimt though 
Hmm, VAR check. Ball hit several arms.
Goal stands, which imo is fair (I donât like such hands rulings even if I want a team to win, though some refâs would have had it as hands)
(not the best end to the half for Glimt, as they seem a bit stressed).
Clearest yellow I have seen for a while, lol. He pulled, pulled, pulled and never stopped pulling until the Glimt player just had to fall (and he really, really tried his bes to NOT fall) 
Funny.
15 min break.
Ath Madrid or Gala pretty much.
