Jose Mourinho had a love-hate relationship with Mesut Ozil at Real Madrid. The German midfielder was just 22 years old when he became one of Mourinho’s first signings in 2010.
For two years it was a marriage made in heaven and it was Ozil’s wonder pass at the Nou Camp for Crisitano Ronaldo to score that, in effect, won the league for Mourinho’s Madrid.
But in their third and final season together, Mourinho’s demands on Ozil began to take their toll and the German was the reason behind one of numerous spats between Mourinho and Sergio Ramos.
