Former Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff has labeled Real boss Jose Mourinho's behavior in the Spanish Supercopa as an act of 'arrogance and impotence'.
The Real Madrid manager was seen poking the eye of Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova during the second leg of the La Liga curtain raiser, which the Catalan side went on to win 3-2.
Reflecting on the incident, Cruyff stated that Mourinho has crossed the line this time around.
"What he did was an act of arrogance and impotence. Many say that he did it to divert attention and to get the people to talk about the incident rather than about the match itself, but I don't believe in that," the former Dutch international said to El Periodico de Catalunya.
"The problem is that he is getting obsessed with his inability to beat Barcelona. He has crossed the line this time. A lot has happened between both sides in the past, but it has never been this bad."
The RFEF opened an investigation into the Portuguese’s behaviour, but the governing body has yet to make a final decision on the Madrid coach's eventual punishment.
