Real Madrid boss Mourinho: Ask Inter Milan fans what they think of me compared to Benitez

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is delighted for Inter Milan over their Club World Cup victory - though unhappy with successor Rafa Benitez.

Mourinho has taken fresh aim at Benitez after the Spaniard's 'back me or sack me' ultimatum.

He said: "It's an infinite joy like it says in our club anthem. And there's an indescribable feeling of pride to have been the Coach of this team and of these players who are 99 per cent the same ones who started out on the road to the Club World Cup.

"What Rafa says doesn't deserve commenting on. I expected at least a 'thank you' for the success that I presented him with. Ask the Inter fans what they think about me and him.

"Rafa found himself in the ideal situation. He had the chance to win three trophies in four games, a situation that every Coach in the world would like.

"Instead, seen from a distance, it seems that this Inter is going through a problematic period."
