In his second season with Inter Milan, Mourinho guided them to the semi-finals, where they were drawn with Barcelona. His side produced a superb performance in the first leg at the San Siro, winning 3-1.

The second leg was a much grittier, cagey game, with Inter reduced to ten men within half an hour thanks to Thiago Motta’s controversial sending off. However, despite Gerard Pique’s goal, Inter held on to win 3-2 on aggregate. At the full-time whistle, Mourinho charged across the pitch in the direction of the Inter fans, arms aloft, briefly grappling with Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes as he looked to join the celebrations. He later said it was “the most beautiful defeat of my life”.
