Even as a man who tends to think the world is against him, Jose Mourinho would have felt particularly sore at Chelsea’s semi-final defeat in the 2014 Champions League.
The young Belgian in goal for Atletico Madrid had helped his side reach the final with confident performances in both legs. Just a shame Thibaut Courtois was actually a contracted Chelsea player, who was on loan in the Spanish capital.
Courtois’ was not the only case. Juventus felt pretty sick when Kingsley Coman scored a decisive goal against them in a last-16 tie in March 2016, seven months after they had let him join Bayern Munich on loan.
