The derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce took a dark turn after the former accused the Portuguese head coach of making racist comments after he claimed that the match would have been a 'disaster' had there been a Turkish ref who was officiating the game.<p>\u201cOn the pitch, there have been difficult moments. We always respect our opponents, so yes, we've had problems on the pitch. The reason why we are 18 matches unbeaten is that we faced the difficult moments with courage, humility, and a good spirit. Outside of the pitch, I don't think we have had a difficult moment,\u201d said Mourinho in a press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mourinho has made his dislike of the standards of officiating in the country very public since he came to Turkey at the beginning of the current season. His club also backed Mourinho\u2019s comments by releasing a statement and labelled Galatasray\u2019s allegations as a \u2018malicious approach.\u2019<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ahead of Fenerbahce's Europa League Round of 16 clash against Scottish side Rangers, Mourinho was asked if he has even been thanked by the Rangers fans for his famous win over their biggest rivals, Celtic, in the final of the 2003 UEFA Champions League when Mourinho used to manage FC Porto.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cNot in Turkey, as I've not seen a Scottish person. Maybe tonight or tomorrow. But yes, in London and the south of Portugal, some Rangers fans come up to me. That was my first big European final, but I have respect for both big clubs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ahead of Fenerbahce's Europa League Round of 16 clash against Scottish side Rangers, Mourinho was asked if he has even been thanked by the Rangers fans for his famous win over their biggest rivals, Celtic, in the final of the 2003 UEFA Champions League when Mourinho used to manage FC Porto.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
