Mourinho grabs Galastaray coach’s nose
Victor Osimhen scored twice for the visitors, including a penalty, while Sebastian Szymanski netted for the hosts just before halftime.
However, tempers flare late between rival clubs, with police entering the pitch to restore order.
A mass brawl erupted, leading to three red cards — Fenerbahce’s Mert Hakan Yandas and Galatasaray’s Baris Alper Yilmaz and Kerem Demirbay.
Meanwhile, Mourinho appeared to grab the nose of Buruk, who swiftly dropped to the ground holding his face.
Mourinho is Galatasaray’s public enemy no.1
“He squeezed my nose from behind while I was going on. There was a slight scratch. Of course, it’s not a very nice and stylish thing,” Buruk said.
“I won’t exaggerate about it, but it’s not a very stylish thing.”
Meanwhile, Galatasaray vice president Metin Ozturk was outspoken about the latest controversy surrounding Mourinho.
“The latest incident is not only an attack on Galatasaray’s coach but also on Turkish football. This is Mourinho, I don’t know where he gets this courage,” he said.
“Where in the world can he do this? Where does he think Turkey is?”
Mourinho, 62, was suspended for four matches and fined in late February for comments made after a league match against Galatasaray.
He also said the Galatasaray bench had been “jumping like monkeys” in response to a refereeing decision.
His remarks led to accusations of racism from Galatasaray, which he denied.
