1) Barcelona 5-0 Real Madrid
When you are given the responsibility of managing two of the biggest clubs in Europe one of the priorities set out by the superior is not to lose the El Clasico. Not being humiliated against your biggest rival is gospel.
Sadly for Mourinho the very first thing he did once he was appointed as Real Madrid manager was to break that very rule. When Pep Guardiola was announced as manager of Barcelona some part of Jose MOurinho’s ego was hurt considering for how long he was associated with the Catalans.

Jose and Pep were also reported to be good friends when the former was assistant coach and Pep was a player. In many ways, he took the Madrid job to prove how wrong Barcelona were in not choosing him as their manager.
But his first ever Clasico taught Jose a very harsh lesson, one that he’ll carry with him for the rest of his life. Madrid were outplayed in every department on the pitch as a Leo Messi inspired performance drove Barca to rout their eternal rivals 5-0.
How Jose managed to keep the job after that disaster is still a mystery to many but he still remains the only manager to win the La Liga title for Madrid since Cristiano Ronaldo joined the club.
