Jose Mourinho has always been a sour loser, blaming the officials for his teams' shortcomings.

Last night, Mourinho's Inter lost to Milan after an awful display by the Portuguese tactician's team. Milan won fairly and totally deserved their 1-0 win.

However, Jose Mourinho thinks that the referee was the reason his team lost the match and says that Milan fans showed they are racists.

"If there is someone who is against racism then it is me,” said Mourinho.

“However, I do not understand what happened with Materazzi, where there were songs offending him and his mother, who lost a child."

“I repeat, I am not racist, but why are the supporters punished for racist songs, but not for what happened to him last night.”

"For me neither of Burdisso’s yellow cards should have been given, and thus the sending off,” he said.

“And if the referee had given the penalty on Adriano, we would have won the game.

“It is hard to play when all the incidents go in favour of one side, but do not let me talk about the referee.”

Kaka Responds

"I think Milan dominated the match and always tried to play attacking football," said Kaka. "That negative moment has passed and now we have notched together a series of four victories and are playing very well.” said Kaka in response to Mourinho's angry words.
