Mourinho on his knees: the celebration that stayed in 2012

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo8 September 2026 at 05:42

In September 2012, in a match played at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, José Mourinho starred in one of his most iconic celebrations as Real Madrid's coach. After Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal in the 90th minute, Mourinho slid on his knees across the pitch in celebration.

The match in question was against Manchester City, which ended with Real Madrid's 3-2 victory. Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the last minute decided the result in favor of the whites.

This moment was forever engraved in the fans' memory and constituted one of the most remarkable moments of Mourinho's spell at Real Madrid, a club he managed between 2010 and 2013.

This was one of the rare moments Mbappé agreed to speak to the press since the start of his career at Real Madrid, presenting a rougher and less approachable profile than usual, in a context marked both by the poor result in La Liga and the proximity of the Champions League.
