Turkey: They lack humanity – Mourinho blasts Galatasaray after goalkeeper takes penalty

Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho, has hit out at Galatasaray’s lack of “human condition” after they allowed their goalkeeper to take a penalty.

The Turkish champions were already on course to clinch the Super Lig title before the final round of fixtures.

Gala were leading 2-0 in the closing stages of the game.

When they were awarded a spot-kick in the 89th minute, long-serving keeper, Fernando Muslera was asked to take it.

Muslera saw his effort from 12 years squeeze into the net, to score only his second goal in 14 years.

The goal brought celebrations from his team-mates and fans. But Mourinho was left unimpressed.

He told reporters: “The way you celebrate championships shows your human condition.

“Today’s championship celebrations were like a summary of the stories during the season.

“When it was 2-0, they made the goalkeeper kick a penalty, which was a great image to show how humane they are.”
