Jose Mourinho Reveals Which Loss Left Him In Tears

Jose Mourinho Reveals Which Loss Left Him In Tears

Jose Mourinho has revealed which UEFA Champions League loss left him in tears for the first and only time in his managerial career.

Mourinho has managed at some of Europe's biggest clubs over the years after bursting onto scene with FC Porto in the 2003/2004 Champions League season.

Having won the tournament with Porto and Inter Milan, Mourinho was unable to deliver the prestigous trophy during his three seasons with Real Madrid.

The Portuguese tactician has now revealed the semi-final penalty shoot-out loss to Bayern Munich in 2012.

"Unfortunately, that's football. Cristiano, Kaka, Sergio Ramos... three complete monsters of football, there's no doubt about that, but they're also human," he told Marca.

"That night is the only time in my career as a coach that I've cried after a defeat. I remember it well... Aitor [Karanka, Madrid assistant at the time] and I pulled up in front of my house, in the car, crying.

"It was very hard because we were the best that season."
