Mourinho Arrives at Press Conference with Printed Photos; Atletico Mocks Him on Social Media

The Portuguese coach arrived at the post-Madrid derby press conference armed with printed screenshots highlighting two contentious incidents. One image depicted a challenge between Jude Bellingham and Cristian Romero, which only resulted in a yellow card for the Argentine. The second disputed moment occurred after a foul on Fede Valverde.

Atletico responded by releasing a video showing a photo of Mourinho at the press conference emerging from a printer, emblazoned with the text "stop bullying referees immediately." Atletico's retort garnered two million views on social media platform X within two hours of its publication.

The club frequently utilizes its social media accounts for similar reactions. Earlier in the summer, they repeatedly posted content mocking Barcelona for their attempts to sign key Atletico player Julian Alvarez.
