Jose Mourinho not-so subtly took aim at Galatasaray after their opponents stunningly walked off the pitch following a controversial penalty.
The Turkish giants were leading 1-0 in their Super Lig clash against Adana Demirspor on Sunday before play was suspended.
Alvaro Morata scored a penalty after Dries Mertens was adjudged to have been fouled by Semih Guler.
However, replays appear to show the Galatasaray man going down far too easily, leaving Adana Demirspor aggrieved.
The visitors expressed their frustrations with the decision by walking off the pitch with around 30 minutes played at RAMS Park.
Referee Oguzhan Cakir abandoned the match and a decision on the outcome will be made by the Turkish Football Federation, as per T24.
They also reported Adana Demirspor head coach Mustafa Alper Avci saying: “The president took the decision, we wanted to stay on the field.”
Galatasaray boss Okan Buruk even said afterwards via Turkiye Today: “In my opinion, it was more likely that it wasn’t a penalty.
“This is not the first mistake made against Adana Demirspor. I don’t believe this was an innocent, spontaneous decision.”
Mourinho, who is head coach at Galatasaray’s rivals Fenerbahce, took to Instagram to make an apparent dig at the league leaders.
He posted a clip of the supposed foul on Mertens, as well as a picture of him on the touchline and a video whilst he’s reading on a plane.
The 62-year-old complained about refereeing in the Turkish top flight last month after a contentious Galatasaray win.
Goztepe were beaten 2-1 and released a post-match statement calling for a ‘temporary foreign referee system’.
Afterwards, Mourinho commented: “Yesterday, everybody was saying the same thing. Scandal, scandal, scandal.
“I learn new words [in Turkish]. Scandal, scandal, scandal. But I think some of you like it.
“In this country, many people like it. Even the winners like it, which is the worst thing of all.”
Mourinho also claimed there is a ‘toxic’ environment in the Super Lig and previously said decisions during a Fenerbahce win ‘smelt bad’.
His side are currently second in the league and three points behind Galatasaray.
