Benfica manager, Jose Mourinho, had to apologize to his Real Madrid counterpart, Alvaro Arbeloa, for how he celebrated their 4-2 win in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Portuguese club qualified for the knockout play-offs, thanks to a 98th minute header from goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin.
After Trubin scored, Mourinho and his coaching team ran onto the pitch with the substitutes.
Mourinho was seen punching the air and making gestures towards the fans, right in front of Arbeloa, who had previously worked with him at Real Madrid.
“I apologise for how I celebrated,” Mourinho said afterwards.
“But Álvaro is a football man, and he understood perfectly that in that moment, you forget that it’s Real Madrid, and that’s Álvaro on the bench, and [Madrid delegate] Chendo and all your people, you forget everything. I’ve apologised.”
