Jose Mourinho watched Liverpool and Tottenham coaches Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino lose in their Champions League fixtures this week.

Mourinho hailed Messi



Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho hailed Lionel Messi as 'the God of Football' following Barcelona's 3-0 victory over Liverpool.
Messi struck twice in the second-half of the
Champions League semi-final first leg at Camp Nou as Barca beat Liverpool by the same scoreline they defeated United in the quarter-final second leg.

Although Mourinho antagonised Barca as Internazionale and Real Madrid coach, he spent four years at the club working with the late Sir Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal and his son, Jose Jr., is an avid Barcelona fan who is particularly reverential towards Messi.

Mourinho commended Liverpool for their bravery in Barcelona, where Sadio Mane lofted an excellent chance over the crossbar at 1-0 and Roberto Firmino had an effort cleared off the line before Mohamed Salah struck the post. Liverpool remarkably had more possession than Barca but could also have lost by a greater margin.

"Liverpool was brave in the approach,"
Mourinho told Russia Today. "I don't think in the past 20 years many teams in the Champions League beat Barcelona in ball possession in the Champions League.

Manchester United make Juan Mata final contract offer

"God of Football made it completely different. Of course [Barca] have a good team, phenomenal players, but that player is absolutely incredible.
"Liverpool deserve much more than the 3-0 defeat but in the last two corners of the game it could be 4-0 or 5-0, because the game was broken and then they couldn't cope. The question is which Barcelona will we have when Messi decides to say goodbye.
"Fabinho and even [Roberto] Firmino looks small [for the free-kick] but is not small. Firmino is the last one but this side, the goalkeeper gave one metre to the diagonal to cover that situation and it's impossible to stop.

Why Romelu Lukaku is considering leaving Manchester United

"Luis Suarez's movement [for the first goal] is phenomenal. One metre here, and I bring the defender with me, at least mentally because the defender thinks I'm going in that direction and now I'm going to attack the space in front. And goodbye."
Mourinho also questioned Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino's decision to play a back three in their 1-0 first leg loss to Ajax, who lined up with playmaker Dusan Tadic doubling as the centre forward.

"Tottenham was playing with three centre-backs against nobody," Mourinho scoffed.
Manchester United might have already made two key signings

So after all these noise by Liverpool fans, they'll end up going trophy-less this season.

And they are yet to play Wolves again in Premier league.

Everyone knows Messi is on anoda level whether he's winning trophies or not... He's d creator in chief and still ends up as chief scorer as well and even wen he doesn't score he's making a difference on d pitch.. Every attack right from d midfield goes thru him and ends with him in most cases... He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone but only to himself... Dey said he only performs becos of Xavi and Iniesta dey both left and he's still performing. Dey said Neymar was doing all d work for him and he wouldn't perform without him, Neymar left for PSG and he's being carrying d load.. Now d new excuse is dat he can't perform in d Premier league but he's d second highest scorer behind Aguero against d Premier League's top 6 sides and he doesn't even play in d Premier league!!!

It was pure bliss watching Messi in that match!

With up to five Liverpool players guarding him front, right, left, back without much success.

That freekick? That was out of this world! shocked

Is Messi even human? What a alien!
