Jose Mourinho and Roma were reduced to fits of rage after seeing a handball appeal turned down during their Europa League final defeat by Sevilla, with the manager later taking aim at Anthony Taylor's 'bull****t' refereeing display.
Mourinho was made to suffer his first ever loss in a European final after his side were downed in a dramatic penalty shoot-out, with Paulo Dybala's first-half opener cancelled out by Gianluca Mancini's unfortunate own goal.
The showdown had spilled over into unsightly scenes of tension and frustration, however, and numerous players and coaches were shown yellow cards.
After taking umbrage with several of Taylor's decisions, Mourinho himself was booked - and his ire toward the officiating continued into his post-match interviews.
One particular moment of controversy forced the Roma bench back to their feet, with a potential Fernando handball not given in the latter stages of normal time.
