Fenerbahce head coach José Mourinho and Galatasaray striker Mauro Icardi clashed on social media over alleged refereeing inconsistencies.
Mourinho posted an image suggesting a handball by Galatasaray’s Davinson Sanchez, sarcastically praising Portugal’s handball team.
Icardi hit back with a meme mocking Mourinho’s “Special One” nickname and highlighted a similar handball by a Fenerbahce player.
At a press conference, Mourinho dismissed the criticism, emphasizing his 25-year career and 26 titles. He sarcastically called Icardi a “GOAT” and refused to engage further.
The exchange adds tension to the Fenerbahce-Galatasaray rivalry ahead of Fenerbahce’s Europa League match against Anderlecht.
