REAL Madrid coach Jose Mourinho riled the Villarreal bench with an inflammatory goal celebration in front of its dugout.
Substitute Kaka had just sealed victory at the Bernabeu with an 82nd-minute strike when Mourinho left his technical area to pass in front of the visitors' bench and punch his arm in the air while facing the stands.
Villarreal substitute Cani reacted by lobbing a water bottle at him and, although it did not hit the Portuguese, was shown a red card by referee David Fernandez Borbalan.
"I went to celebrate the goal with my son who was behind the visitors' bench, and the Villarreal players thought I was provoking them," Mourinho said. "I hope that when one swears on their son they believe you. I think this (situation) comes from a state of affairs where everything I do is always classed as negative."
Mourinho has often been accused of provoking opponents on and off the pitch, and famously had a run in with Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes after his former club Inter Milan knocked Barcelona out of the Champions League semifinals last season.
