Mourinho 'mad' because MU star received penalty before Real Madrid match

After UEFA gave Eric Bailly an additional punishment before the European Super Cup match against Real Madrid, coach Mourinho could not keep his composure. He criticized the highest authority of European football.

As we know, UEFA has just unexpectedly increased the suspension of MU center-back Eric Bailly (who received a red card in the Europa League semi-final against Celta Vigo) by 2 matches. That means the Ivorian center-back cannot participate in the European Super Cup against Real Madrid and the first match of the Champions League group stage next season.

Eric Bailly will miss the European Super Cup due to his red card in the Europa League semi-final against Celta Vigo.

The absence of MU's number 1 central defender in the important match with Real Madrid made coach Mourinho feel dissatisfied. He criticized the highest authority of European football.

The Portuguese strategist said: “I think this is normal. We have to accept the penalty whether we show it with a happy or sad face.

I agree that Eric Bailly deserved a red card against Celta Vigo. However, he missed the final. That’s enough. Not playing in the final is a big punishment for the players. So I think Eric Bailly should be cleared and start the new season in the European Super Cup.

Eric Bailly was not only banned from the Europa League final, but also banned from the European Super Cup and cannot play in the opening match of the Champions League. That is too harsh a punishment."

The European Super Cup match between MU and Real Madrid is scheduled to take place on August 8. Recently, the two teams met in a friendly match in the US. After 2 regular periods, the two teams tied 1-1. After that, MU won the penalty shootout.
