The Spanish giants thanks to first half goals from Kylian Mbappe and Federico Valverde.

But , 63, was stunned when he found out that Courtois had not been selected as the best player on the pitch.

Valverde was named man of the match following the showdown at the Bernabeu.

And Mourinho, who to the Real Madrid dugout during the summer, went on a classic rant over the Uefa observer panel’s decision.

The legendary Portuguese tactician said: “The game could have ended 6-1 for us, or it could have ended 6-6.

“I don’t mean to say that Inter could have won because we created more opportunities at crucial moments.

“For example, [Jude] [had two clear chances] at the end of the first half and at the beginning of the second.

“But it was a crazy game and with a kind of craziness that I don’t like. I like to score five, six or seven goals, but having absolute control and without needing an absolutely incredible goalkeeper.

“Whoever decided on the MVP was asleep because if they don’t give it to this time, they never will. No offense to Valverde.”
