A furious Jose Mourinho has revealed that he felt disrespected as a result of events that took place in his own team's home stadium.
The Portuguese tactician and his side suffered a 3-1 loss to fierce rivals Galatasaray in a league encounter on Saturday, but it was what happened after the match that seemingly upset the manager most.

When the final whistle was blown, reporters made their way to the press conference to hear what the "Special One" had to say about the side's first Super Lig defeat since the former Real Madrid manager was appointed in June this year.
However, they found themselves waiting for more than an hour until Mourinho eventually pitched up to share his thoughts on the game.
Speaking ahead of Fener's UEFA Europa League encounter against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise on Thursday evening, the coach revealed what happened ahead of that delayed presser, saying that he was prevented from attending it.
"In 24 years of football, I never in my life escaped from a press conference, especially after a defeat," he said, per GOAL.
"I never had fear of any journalist, any question or any press conference.
"So, it wouldn't be with you that I was going to change my way of being.
"That doesn't have any logic to be waiting 75 minutes to go to a press conference.
"The game finished, I congratulate the opposing coach, I went directly to the flash interview, and then I was 70 minutes waiting to go to the press conference.
"I tried to go, I was not allowed to go, I was in the door of the press conference trying to go, I was not allowed to go.
"So it has nothing to do with the result, it has nothing to do with anything, it has only to do with something that is either correct or not correct.
"I'm sorry, but it's a lack of respect. So if anybody felt disrespected, I am the one that felt disrespected."
