Jose Mourinho slams Roma stars despite comeback vs Juventus - "I was ashamed of them"

Jose Mourinho told his Roma players that he was "ashamed of them" during their 1-1 draw with Juventus.

Tammy Abraham 's second-half header rescued a point for the Giallorossi in Turin, but Juventus could've been out of sight by half-time thanks to an "awful" performance from Roma. A venomous free-kick from Dusan Vlahovic opened the scoring for Massimiliano Allegri 's side with just two minutes on the clock, and shortly after, Manuel Locatelli's rip-roaring striker was ruled out by VAR.

Mourinho felt that his men were "unbelievably lucky" to head into the break with only one goal between the two teams, and he made his thoughts clear in the dressing room. "I told my players at half-time that I was ashamed of them. It wasn't a tactical issue, it was their attitude. We can't come here and play like this," the former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur gaffer revealed to DAZN post-match, via Football Italia.
