Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been speaking about Chelsea at the Champions League final in London last night.
Mourinho is known to still have a house in London near Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium so he didn’t have too far to go last night to watch a very lively final between Dortmund and another one of Mourinho’s former teams Real Madrid.
Sources: Chelsea looking at SIX goalkeeper targets for the summer with change incoming!
It was the latter who came out on top to beat Dortmund 2-0 and win another Champions League final, but for Chelsea fans at least, all the talk was about what he said after the game.

The TV host asked Mourinho about current Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino parting ways, and he looks to have taken an indirect swipe at the Chelsea owners with his response, making an odd backhanded compliment towards Tottenham as well and comparing Chelsea to them.
He’s clearly unimpressed with how the owners are operating.
Who cares. “The Special One” hasn’t been special in an awfully long time, so I’m not sure why he rates a headline. He’s always enjoyed tweaking people through the press and here we see it again. Such a shame that he never really learned that you ultimately burn bridges with this type of behaviour. It says all you need to know that’s he’s now plying his trade in Turkey (while apparently blithely unaware that world has grown quite weary of his act). Such a shame that he never figured out how to evolve as a person and as a manager. You look at a contemporary like Carlo Ancelloti who’s still winning major trophies and it really puts in perspective just how dramatically Mourinho has flamed out. Honestly, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him in Saudi Arabia inside of 24 months.
