Jose Mourinho blanks media after AS Roma defeat as winless streak reaches 7 games

AS Roma lost 2-1 to Fiorentina away from home despite being in the lead from minute 11 up until minute 85.

The defeat ends Roma's Champions League aspirations through the league due to an abysmal run since mid-April: they can't find a win in Serie A for seven games in a row. Now, everything depends on the Europa League final for Roma.

It's a tricky situation but you won't find Jose Mourinho's quotes after the game even if you search carefully.

As per Corriere dello Sport, Mourinho didn't like the refereeing for Fiorentina's equaliser. In Mourinho's view, the opposition attacker leaned too much on his defender to win a header that became an assist (2:15 in the highlights below).

Mourinho also got booked in this game and will miss the final clash of the season against Spezia.

Quite likely, Mourinho won't care as Roma's season depends on the Europa League final on 31 May against Sevilla. If they win it, they'll be in the Champions League next season.

Roma are currently sixth in Serie A but could be overtaken by Juventus who have a game in hand. The highest Roma could finish is fifth but Juventus and Atalanta must slip up for this to happen.
