Mourinho Blames Referee and VAR for Fenerbahce's Europa League Exit

The 62-year-old coach alleges officiating errors and questions past disciplinary actions following Fenerbahce's penalty shootout loss to Rangers.

José Mourinho criticized the referee and VAR for failing to award Fenerbahce three penalties during their Europa League Round of 16 match against Glasgow Rangers.
Fenerbahce won 2-0 in regular and extra time, leveling the aggregate score after a 1-3 loss in the first leg, but fell short in the penalty shootout.
Mourinho claimed Fenerbahce was the superior team on the night and suggested officiating decisions unfairly forced the match into a shootout.
The coach questioned whether the officiating was influenced by his past suspension following the 2023 Europa League final, where he labeled a referee a 'disgrace.'
Sebastian Szymański scored both goals for Fenerbahce in the second leg, expressing disappointment over the outcome despite the team's strong performance.
