Bluntly tells England that the “best team won.”
Also reveals major regret about Real Madrid.
Spain secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over England in Sunday’s final Berlin.
Mikel Oyarzabal scored the decisive goal in the 86th minute.
This marked Spain’s fourth European Championship win, solidifying their continental dominance.
Mourinho attributed part of Spain’s success to himself, noting his role in the early careers of key players Nacho Fernandez and Alvaro Morata.
Mourinho admitted to failing to recognize the potential of another Spanish star, Dani Carvajal.
“2024/Champions League winner captain Nacho Fernandez/European Champion winner captain Alvaro Morata. Many congratulations to them and to the coach who gave them their debut when they were just kids in the Academy 😂😂😂. Same coach who did not understand that Dani Carvajal was another one 😡🤬😀. Many congratulations to Mister De La Fuente for an amazing job. Best team won!”
Mourinho took to social media and wrote:
Morata and Nacho made their senior debuts under Mourinho at Real Madrid, while Carvajal struggled to find playing time.
Carvajal thrived in the Bundesliga and returned to Real Madrid in 2013, becoming a mainstay in the team.
After a successful Euro 2024 campaign, the Spanish stars have headed out on a break, with Carvajal possibly attending the unveiling of Kylian Mbappe at the Santiago Bernabeu
