Mauro Icardi wasted no time to respond after the shocking news of José Mourinho’s firing by Fenerbahçe on Friday. Just hours after the announcement, the Galatasaray striker took to Instagram to celebrate his Süper Lig title win. The post featured a jubilant photo of him with his coach Okan Buruk, sending a clear message of triumph over the ‘Special One.’
This rivalry has been brewing for months, stemming from Mourinho’s sarcastic comments about Galatasaray. He suggested that the Istanbul club was receiving favorable officiating, which didn’t sit well with Icardi. The Argentine forward fired back, labeling the Portuguese manager a ‘crybaby’ and vowing to bring home a trophy for his fans. He delivered on that promise by clinching the league title last spring, fueling the fire of their feud.
Icardi Wins a Battle, But Is the War Over?
In response, Mourinho called Icardi a ‘big goat,’ leaving fans puzzled over whether it was a deliberate jab or just a cryptic insult. His statement was ambiguous at best: ‘Icardi is a goat, and since he is a big goat, I prefer not to comment. I will remain silent and accept.’ This only added another layer to their ongoing drama.
Now, it seems Icardi has the upper hand. With his cheeky Instagram post, he appears to have won this round against a weakened Mourinho, who was dismissed after failing to make an impact in Europe. This latest development raises the question: has Icardi truly triumphed, or is there more to this saga?
