Troy Parrott scored late; Madrid created far more expected goals but missed chances, hit the bar, had a bicycle kick disallowed, and saw Álvaro Valles save Mbappé’s last-minute penalty. It is Mourinho’s first official defeat of the new spell and immediately produced recaps, memes, and “washed / first loss” posts. @NextGoolSeparately, the old “I am José Mourinho” sound remains a staple on TikTok and similar platforms. It comes from a 2022 Topps sticker ad in which Mourinho deadpans his own name and lists achievements before being told he can only collect stickers. People still use the clip for ironic self-introductions and sketches. knowyourmeme.comThere is also a Coca-Cola / GOAL “José vs. Mourinho” series that uses AI digital twins of him arguing with himself about World Cup matches; that campaign was built for the 2026 tournament but is not the same-day spike. webwire.comIn short: the evergreen Mourinho meme culture plus the high-profile Madrid comeback plus a dramatic first loss on matchday 4 is why his name is all over feeds today.
