Jose Mourinho is still making memes, even over in Turkey.
The Fenerbahce manager thought his side had taken the lead in a crucial Champions League qualifier against Feyenoord, despite the fact no one else did.
Mourinho turned to celebrate what he thought was his team making it 2-2 on aggregateTV8 But when the referee played on he looked lividTV8Fenerbahce welcomed Robin van Persie’s side to Istanbul, 2-1 down from the first leg, and they got off to a solid start.
Mourinho’s side kept absorbing attacks and countering, and then finally had the ball in the net in the 28th minute as Youssef En-Nesyri swept home a lightning attack.
However, the home celebrations were instantly cut short as the linesman raised his flag for the closest of offside calls.
There were then some slightly confusing scenes as referee Istvan Kovacs seemed to halt the game with his hand to his earpiece, perhaps ratifying the decision.
Mourinho, though, got the wrong end of the stick, turning to his fans and pumping his fist in celebration, only for Kovacs to then wave play on.
The former European treble-winning manager then turned back to his bench with a face in complete shock, sticking his arms out, unable to understand what had happened.
The goal would have been a deserved reward for a strong start from the hosts, but just over ten minutes later they then found themselves a goal down on the night and 3-1 down on aggregate when Tsuyoshi Watanabe nodded in a free kick.
Panic could have set in at the Sukru Saracoglu stadium, but it was instead an Englishman who got the crowd back on their feet.
Birmingham-born former Derby prospect Archie Brown matched Watanabe by coming up from defence to finish off a set piece, and then in first half stoppage time former Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran made it 3-3 on aggregate with a clever improvised finish from an En-Nesyri knock-down.
Fener kept the pressure on into the second half, and ten minutes after the break it was another familiar name who put them 3-1 up on the night and 4-3 up on aggregate.
Collecting the ball from a turnover of possession midway into the Feyenoord half, former Manchester United midfielder Fred carried it central and delivered an unsavable curling shot that tucked into the top corner of the net.
The winner of tonight’s clash will progress to one final qualifier against either Benfica or Nice with a place in the Champions League proper up for grabs for the winner.
Success would be a huge boost for Mourinho who endured a trophyless debut campaign in Turkey.
Having lost the Super Lig to Galatasaray, Mourinho became the first Fenerbahce manager in 43 years to keep his job despite not winning the league.
