Ruben Loftus-Cheek called out former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

The Milan midfielder recently responded to the criticism he received following the Rui Patricio foul that produced the Rossoneri’s penalty against Roma.

In an interview with DAZN, Loftus-Cheek commented on the situation involving Patricio in the first half of Roma-Milan.

“I heard that according to Mourinho I dived. No, it’s football. I felt the contact with my leg and that was it. That was enough, and that’s how it went.”

“Mourinho? I don’t think we saw things the same way at Chelsea, I think we misunderstood each other a lot. I was very young at the time.”
