Jose Mourinho brands Europa League Final referee a 'f***ing disgrace' as he lurks in car park to confront him

Raging Jose Mourinho lurked in the car park to confront Europa League Final referee Anthony Taylor before launching a foul-mouthed blast at the whistler.

The Special One could barely contain himself after he lost his first European Final after Roma suffered penalty heartbreak at the hands of tournament specialists Sevilla. Mourinho wasn't in the mood for taking the high road as he launched into a series of rants as soon as he placed his runners' up medal around the neck of a young fan in Budapest. He believed Taylor and his officials missed a stonewall penalty shout and he fumed over a penalty retake during the shootout.

But the 60-year-old's verbal volley aimed at the Englishman could land him in hot water with UEFA. A visibly seething Mourinho said: "F***ing disgrace man, it's a f***ing disgrace."The bonkers scene came moments after Mourinho had let rip in front of the assembled media about the performance of Taylor.

He said: 'Next year we won't be playing the Champions League and that's a good thing because we're not made for it. And let's hope that Taylor, only officiates games in the Champions League and does the same bull**** there that he did tonight, and not in the Europa League."
