In a video on social media, referee Anthony Taylor and his family were attacked by a group of AS Roma fans at Budapest airport (Hungary) when returning to England.
After the Europa League final, coach Mourinho went to the parking lot at the Budapest stadium to insult referee Anthony Taylor, claiming that the English "king in black" had made decisions that were disadvantageous to AS Roma. For example, the situation of not giving the "Wolves" a penalty after Fernando let the ball touch his hand in the penalty area.
However, the story is not over yet. In a video posted on social media, referee Anthony Taylor and his family were attacked by a group of AS Roma fans at Budapest airport when returning to England.
According to the records, this group of fans "threw" bad words at referee Anthony Taylor. Not only that, they also threw water, spat and even threw chairs at the English referee.
Budapest airport security had a hard time getting referee Anthony Taylor and his family into a private waiting room. Some of his companions were beaten by AS Roma fans and police had to intervene.

Immediately, the English referees' governing body (PGMOL) spoke up: "PGMOL has been monitoring videos circulating on social media. In it, referee Anthony Taylor and his family were harassed and abused at Budapest airport.
We are appalled by the senseless abuse of Mr Anthony Taylor and his family. We will support him to the best of our ability."
It is not impossible that coach Mourinho will receive a heavy penalty from the European Football Federation (UEFA) for attacking the referee. Not only that, AS Roma Club also faces the risk of receiving a similar penalty.
