However, the victory was overshadowed by Mourinho’s scathing criticism of officiating. He said,

“We play against a system. And to play against a system is the most difficult thing.”

His impassioned remarks, part of a lengthy eight-minute tirade, provided a glimpse into the Portuguese coach’s competitive fervor.

“Tonight, we faced a solid team, experienced a vibrant atmosphere, contended with VAR, and battled against a system. It was extremely challenging,” he added.

This passionate post-match commentary did not go unnoticed. The TFF issued a stern review of Mourinho’s statements, deeming them detrimental to the integrity of Turkish football and contrary to the principles of sportsmanship. The governing body’s stance on this matter was clear-his remarks not only tarnished the reputation of the TFF but also undermined the perceived impartiality of referees and match officials.

The TFF slapped Mourinho with a discretionary fine of 900,000 TL under Article 38/4-a of the FDT for Unsportsmanlike Statements.

In addition to the expensive financial penalty, Mourinho was also given a one-match suspension from the dressing room and touchline due to unsporting conduct directed towards opposing fans, with reports suggesting this additional fine to be around £1,300.
