Benfica head coach Jose Mourinho has apologized to Real Madrid head coach Alvaro Arbeloa for his team's overly emotional goal celebration in the 90+8th minute of the Champions League match.
Idman.Biz reports that the Portuguese won the match with a score of 4:2.
"I apologize for celebrating the goal like that. But Alvaro Arbeloa is a football person, he understands very well that at such a moment you forget everything, you forget that Alvaro is sitting next to you on the bench where his team's substitutes are sitting. I apologized to him," ESPN quoted Mourinho as saying.
Benfica's Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatoli Trubin scored with a header from the penalty area in the 90+8th minute. Thanks to this, the Lisbon club advanced to the Champions League play-off stage.
At that moment, Benfica's coaching staff and substitutes ran onto the field. Mourinho himself waved his arms and signaled to the fans in front of Alvaro Arbeloa.
