The heated Istanbul derby saw three red cards issued in stoppage time before the final whistle. However, the drama didn\u2019t end there.<\/p>\n

After the match, Mourinho approached Buruk from behind and appeared to pinch his nose, prompting the Galatasaray boss to fall to the ground. Mourinho was quickly escorted out of the area, while Buruk grabbed at his face before being tended to.<\/p>\n

Galatasaray posted a photo on its official X account afterward with the quote, \u201cYou should not attack, you should digest!\u201d along with a shushing emoji.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s incident is the latest for Mourinho, a no stranger to controversy, who was handed a four-match ban and fined by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) following his comments about Turkish referees after a match at Galatasaray in February.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese coach was also accused of making \u201cracist statements\u201d by the rival club, which at the time planned to seek criminal charges against the world-renowned coach.<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old is considered one of the best coaches of his generation, winning two Champions Leagues, two Europa Leagues, one Conference League and eight league titles after previously managing Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, Inter Milan and AS Roma, among others.<\/p>\n
