Mourinho insults referee UEFA decides to file charges

UEFA has decided to press charges against Roma coach Nozer Mourinho for insulting referee Anthony Taylor after Sevilla beat Roma 4-1 on penalties in the Europa League final .


After losing the game in Rome, Mourinho insulted Anthony in the parking lot and was extremely dissatisfied with Anthony's law enforcement. However, when Anthony went to the airport to return to the UK that day, he was surrounded and abused by crazy fans at the airport.


UEFA issued a statement on the matter, saying: "In accordance with UEFA Disciplinary Regulations, following the UEFA Europa League final between Sevilla and Roma in Budapest, Hungary on May 31, 2023, a disciplinary proceedings."


In addition to accusing Mourinho of insulting Anthony, UEFA also accused Roma of being unable to stop the vandalism of fans and crowd riots. In addition, after Sevilla won the game, some fans rushed into the stadium and will be charged with trespassing the stadium. At the same time, fans of both sides were also accused of inappropriate behavior such as throwing debris and lighting fireworks.


Anthony sent 13 yellow cards to players during the game, and Mourinho also criticized Anthony for this matter. Former senior official Mark Halsey spoke out for Anthony and also slammed the behavior of the Sevilla and Roma players.


Halsey said: "I can't condone the behavior of Mourinho, the Roma players and the Sevilla players. I am shocked by their behavior. When they got the yellow card, they surrounded Anthony. I think the team kept it. Did a good job with 22 and Anthony did a great job under the pressure of players and officials."


"If the referee sent off the player with a yellow card, the fans would say the referee ruined the game. The referee obviously didn't want to send the player off, they just judged the behavior of the player, but the behavior of the player was shocking. The referee knew what he was doing and the player's behavior was shocking. Behavior makes it difficult for the referee to control the game. I feel sorry for him, you can't blame the referee, it's all up to the players and the coach."
