JM won the Conference League! 10 years ago, Mourinho fell to his knees after the cruel penalty shootout against Bayern. Undoubtedly, it was the most hurtful defeat in his career. His team was the best team, but without a CL title. Haters will come to discredit Mourinho, saying his stint was a failure. But before him, RM couldnt even beat Lyon to get past the RO16. True Madridistas will appreciate him.

I remember the times when RM would struggle to get past the last 16! One of the games I recall of the pre JM era was THAT game v Arsenal in 2006.

[@wiselettuce8715]

That penalty shootout is so goddamn painful. Casillas tried so hard to pull it back from the grave, and give us one last hope that instantly taken way at the next one. I couldn't sleep well after that game. That was the most entertaining counter attacking football I've ever seen, and it's stopped by a penalty shootout.

[@Prince-qr1te]

Winning the league in that era is the greatest thing José ever did for me. I'd argue being better than that Barça team over a 38 game season was more difficult than winning the Champions league at the time.

I will never forget Mourinho's Madrid. As a kid supporting United, I used to watch them play and think to myself "Man, they're so fun to watch, why can't our players play like that?". It's funny because their manager was Mourinho who has a reputation for being a "football terrorist". Mourinho may not have won the CL for Madrid, but he damn well brought them back to the elite, his winning mentality and never give up attitude resonated among the players. No wonder Madrid went on to win 4 CL titles in 5 years.

[@eredris]

Their play might have been boring (and at times downright thuggish cc: Pepe) but it was worth it to see that one moment Ozil cut through the entire enemy defense with one pass, or Cristiano run across half the pitch to score. Some of the players in that team were, or still, out of this world.

[@ucanhtran4552]

Stop over-gloryfying Jose. Of course they would be good see the squad they got. It was one of the best and most expensive squad in history.

How Real managed to win La LIga with 100 points and 121 goals yet failed to beat Bayern Munich (that only finished 2nd in the league that year, 8 points behind Dortmund) is beyond me. Mourinho generally had some sort of CL semifinal curse, he was knocked out in that round 3 times with Chelsea and 3 times with Real, and it was often very dramatic (2005, 2007, 2012).

[@doomer704]

Bayern was a very weird club at the time, got to the UCL finals 3 times in 4 years (in the era of Mourinho-Pep), and got there with strikers like Olic, Mandzukic and Gomez (not bad, but not UCL final level), and defenders like Dante, Demichelis and Van Buyten (again, not bad, but not UCL final level), they had a kind of weird mystique going on.

Some people even go as far as criticizing him for "running Casillas out of Madrid" even though he was starting goalkeeper for the whole Ancelotti tenure.

No. I criticized him because he came from Barça. Like Madrid needed some Barcelona cast-off to help us 🙄 Maybe I did not like his, "When we win, it's because of my system.

Mou literally had badluck with Real in every semi final of UCL, playing against the best Barca team, unlucky in penalty shootout vs Bayern and came one goal short from the final while playing at home against Dortmund in his last year. In terms of Penalty shootout against Bayern he literally picked all 3 of the best penalty takers he have and put them as the first 3 kickers, all of them can't score. That's why Zidane randomize the penalty takers during the 2016 final against Atletico by putting young Vazquez first, Cristiano was the one that took the winning penalty.
