🎙️ “I’m not going to exaggerate it” – Buruk
While Mourinho did not speak after the match, Buruk played down the situation in his interview:
“I congratulated the referees. Mourinho was also there, and as I walked past, he pinched my nose from behind. I got a slight scratch there.
Of course, it’s not a nice thing to do. It’s not classy. Coaches should behave better, but I’m not going to exaggerate it.
I think we should have shaken hands before and after the game, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen.”
