Real Madrid coach José Mourinho says he is “surprised” that Inter have not won the UEFA Champions League in recent years. In comments reported by multiple outlets, he also critiques aspects of the match schedule, suggesting it is influenced by “an Italian,” without specifying details.
The coverage frames Mourinho’s remarks as part of a broader reaction to European competition and scheduling. Yahoo Sports and Football Italia both repeat the core points: Mourinho’s surprise at Inter’s lack of recent Champions League success and his implication that the fixture list has been arranged in a way that he views unfavorably. Neither account provides additional context about the specific fixtures, dates, or which competition authority made the schedule, nor do they offer direct responses from Inter, UEFA, or the parties Mourinho references.
Overall, the reports are aligned on the substance of Mourinho’s statements but limited in independently verifiable detail, focusing mainly on the coach’s perspective rather than new factual information about Inter’s performance or the reasons behind the scheduling.
