Mourinho fires jibe at GalatasarayIcardi hits back at Fenerbahce bossPosts 'GOAT' images for 'The Crying One'Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Mourinho initiated the war of words by taking a jibe at Galatasaray with a social media post, complaining about handball decisions going their way. Icardi responded by posting a photoshopped image of a book cover titled 'The Crying One'; prompting the Portuguese – who once annointed himself as 'The Special One' – to brand the Argentine the GOAT (greatest of all time). Now, the striker has hit back in style.

In an Instagram story, Icardi put together a picture of a goat clad in Galatasaray kit, with trophies and flags on either side of it. And in another he put, "The Turkish G.O.A.T," with half of his face and half of a goat's face.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
This is building up nicely to both team's top-of-the-table clash on February 24 on Galatasaray's home patch. Three points separate the teams, but Mourinho's second-placed side have played a game more. This match could define the entire season.
