These remarks were shocking enough, but Mourinho clearly wasn't planning to stop there. He went further to sarcastically criticize the Champions League trophy Barcelona won two years ago: "I've won the championship with two teams that aren't Barcelona. Porto is from a country that basically can't win such a championship; Inter Milan hadn't touched this honor for fifty years. We won the championship with sweat, hard work, and our heads held high. As for Guardiola, though he is an excellent coach, the Champions League trophy he won — if it were me, I'd be ashamed to win it. And now, the one he might win again, I'd also be ashamed to take. The last time it was the Stanford Bridge scandal, this time it's the Bernabeu scandal. I just hope one day he can win a championship without any scandal."
These words were evidently too heavy.
