Mourinho Whines Again, Says Real Players Get More Cards Than Rivals

REAL Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has accused La Liga officials of being more inclined to caution his players than their rivals and hit out at opposing fans for whistling forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

"That's football and it happens to us a lot," Portuguese Mourinho pointed out. "It's very easy to show yellow cards to Real Madrid players and not as many to others. It annoys me that there are players from other clubs who can protest and we can't. In the same way that you have coaches who can leave their technical area and others not."

"Cristiano is a phenomenon and it's hard to understand the way he is treated," Mourinho said. "Treating a phenomenon so badly makes me think that the championship is not being protected. He belongs to the league and to the fans, who can watch him every (weekend). He puts on a show and he doesn't get protection from the stadiums, from fans, opponents and referees."
