Fenerbahce's manager Jose Mourinho was elated with the 3-2 win and in celebration of the goal, he was spotted running into the field. Mourinho hilariously tried a knee-slide celebration, but his knee stuck into the grass, and he toppled over.

Mourinho was animated for a significant portion of the Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor Turkish Super Lig 2024-25 match as he was unhappy with the decisions taken by the video assistant referee. Trabzonspor came back from behind and took the lead against Fenerbahçe as the video assistant referee awarded them two penalty kicks. Mourinho was furious when a blatant foul on Bright Osayi-Samuel went unchecked by the officials, leading the Portuguese tactician to quip that VAR official Atilla Karaoglan must have been preoccupied with a coffee. Mourinho wasn't done there; he called for VAR's Karaoglan to be permanently removed from officiating any future matches involving Fenerbahce.
