Too easy.

Jose Mourinho stole the show at the Game 4 Grenfell on Saturday afternoon at Loftus Road in London. The charity game, featuring current and former professional footballers and stars from the world of entertainment, was organised to raise funds for those affected by the tragic blaze, in which at least 80 people died on June 14. The two teams were managed by Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand, and Mourinho was part of Shearer's squad for the game. He had an eventful afternoon. Before the match, Shearer took the piss out of Mourinho, calling him the "second greatest manager in history" after Alex Ferguson. Which is more of a compliment than a jibe, really. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/903992733618012161 Then, when Mourinho was substituted into the game, he did the most Mourinho thing ever. The Manchester United manager was booked for time-wasting, which is undoubtedly peak-Mourinho. https://twitter.com/gavhol90/status/904007926481866752 Mourinho's father and grandfather were goalkeepers, and Jose showed he inherited the goalkeeper gene, rushing off his line like Peter Schmeichel. (Not really, but he did okay for a 54-year-old playing in a charity game). https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/904018459163582464 The United manager then rounded off his eventful afternoon by slotting away a penalty in the shoot-out. This was a very well-taken spot kick. You can donate to #Game4Grenfell by texting GRENFELL to 70007, or visit www.game4grenfell.com
