In the high-stakes world of soccer rivalries, clashes on and off the pitch often fuel the fire of competition. One such rivalry was between two iconic managers, Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger. In a podcast, the Portuguese manager mocked the French manager for thrashing his team 6-0 in Wenger’s 1000th game as Arsenal boss.

The mocking from the former Chelsea boss shows that he still remembers the rivalry despite the legendary Arsenal boss retiring from management. It also shows their fierce competitiveness when they face each other.

The fans also remembered the game for the significant mistake of the referee in the first half. In the 14th minute, Alex Oxlade Chamberlin handled the ball inside the box. The referee correctly gave a penalty. However, due to mistaken identity, he gave the red card to defender Kieran Gibbs. It opened the gates for Chelsea to dismantle Arsenal as Wenger looked gloomy on the touchline. They scored four goals in the first half and added two more in the second half. It was the biggest win in the London derby in Premier League history.

It is not the first or last time Jose Mourinho dominated Arsene Wenger in his managerial career. The statistics suggest that the Portuguese manager had an advantage over the French manager during their face-off.
