#8 Denying Liverpool the title
In his first season back at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho had a side that he constantly said was the third best in the league. However, going into the final weeks of the season, his side was still in the hunt for the title, and they traveled to Anfield to play Liverpool, who knew that if they won their last four games, they would win the title.
Mourinho’s men produced an excellent defensive display though, and that, coupled with an unfortunate Steven Gerrard slip, saw Chelsea win 2-0, denying Liverpool their first ever Premier League title. In typical Mourinho style, he headed down the touchline towards the Chelsea fans after the second goal, punching the badge on his chest. At full time, he went down the tunnel shouting “they wanted the clowns”. He may not have won the title that season, but it will still be regarded as one of his finest moments.
