Jose Mourinho was the calmest man in the Puskas Arena when Paulo Dybala opened the scoring for AS Roma in their Europa League final clash against Sevilla.
A day after claiming Dybala would only be able to play '20 to 30 minutes' for the Italian side, Mourinho watched on as the Argentine forward handed Roma a deserved lead with 34 minutes on the clock.
After a great pass from deep, the former Juventus man let the ball run across his body before converting past Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou with ease.
Dybala ran towards the corner flag to celebrate, with his teammates in close proximity. But as the Roma bench sprinted from their seats, a cool, calm and collected Mourinho walked away as if nothing happened.
Check out his brilliant reaction below.
Paulo Dybala gives Roma the lead!! 🤩

Mourinho will add another trophy to his cabinet if his side win Wednesday's Europa League final. 'The Special One', who has won 26 trophies during his managerial career to date, was in a bullish mood ahead of kick-off.
After being asked about criticism towards his tactics, the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager told BT Sport: "Who questions me? I don't care. What can I do? Fight everyone?
"No, I cannot do it. I work super hard and try my best - that's my education, that's what I do everyday. My history is there, nobody can delete it. But it's also my philosophy of life.
"I have a final to play on Wednesday, and I will do everything possible to try and win it."
