Farioli mocks Mourinho: “Is there a trophy for virtual champions?” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli responded with irony to José Mourinho's statements about the existence of "a real championship and a virtual one." The FC Porto coach, during the press conference previewing the trip to Sporting, jokingly asked what position the Dragons were in and was pleased to hear the answer: "What place is FC Porto in? Then we're still in first."

Farioli questioned the journalists again before emphasizing the goal that fully occupies the team's mind: "Is there a trophy for the virtual champion? No? Then it's better for us to spend our energy on the other one."

Hours after José Mourinho's remarks in the preview of the visit to Gil Vicente, Benfica, on the club's television channel, clarified that the coach was referring to "serious refereeing errors" that, in the opinion of the Reds, benefited Sporting by six points and FC Porto by two, in addition to having harmed the Eagles' team by six.
