Jose Mourinho "disappointed" with English referee Howard Webb

Mourinho "disappointed" with Webb

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has expressed his disappointment with the performance of English referee Howard Webb in the Champions League semi-final second leg this evening.

The Portuguese coach had just watched his side exit the competition 4-3 on aggregate after a frantic 2-0 win at the Bernabeu.

He apportioned blame to Webb for not awarding a free kick and sending off Mats Hummels for a handball on the edge of the area.

"I am very sad and disappointed with one of my favourite referees, Howard Webb," Mourinho told ITV Sport.

"It's a red card for Mats Hummels, he saw it. In that moment he was not a referee, he was a human being.

"He thought 'if I give a red card to Mats Hummels, he will miss the final'."

The 50-year-old also suggested that he would be leaving Real to join Chelsea this summer.
