The ace of Real Madrid revealed that the two Portuguese were almost physically fighting.
Croatian national team player Luka ModriΔ witnessed the conflict that took place in the locker room of the Kravlje club.
Namely, the conflict between Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho occurred in 2013 in one game of the Spanish Cup.
Mourinho was furious with the first star of the team after the introductory 45 minutes of the match.
- Then we won 2: 0, but at half time Mourinho was very angry with Ronaldo. Cristiano lost one ball and then did not rush the player to return it. Jose 'went crazy'. On the way to the locker room, he complained to me, "I do everything I can, I do my best, and he constantly criticizes me," says ModriΔ.
It was "hot" in the locker room, so much so that there was almost a physical conflict.
- Mourinho came last and immediately started criticizing his countryman for irresponsibility in the game. The situation was heated, Ronaldo got up and headed towards Mourinho. We barely prevented them from escalating into a serious incident, the Croat revealed.
Mourinho spent three seasons at Real and left the club in May 2013, while Ronaldo moved to Juventus five years later.
