Jose Mourinho is the manager of Real Madrid and they were locked in a close battle with Manchester City on Wednesday. The game was tight until Madrid scored a goal in the 90th minute, which prompted an epic celebration from the manager.

See, I have to give him all the credit in the world. If a manager gets that excited about a goal, it should fire up the entire team and the fan base. Heck, I was not even watching the game but the way it sounded on Twitter made it amazing. It sounded so great that I had to go out and find this video to share with everyone.
Anytime you can get a big win, it should fire you up. The fact that a late goal was the one that helped the team makes it even more exciting. I can’t believe that a manager would do that in a suit though. That thing won’t be very easy to dry clean after a sliding celebration like that.
If more managers across every sport showed this type of emotion, we might be better off for it. There is a line that they can cross, but there is nothing wrong with being this pumped up about a crucial goal. It may be over the line to some, but I think it is simply amazing.
Hopefully more guys take a cue from Mourinho and celebrate like this. We’d be better off for it.
