Mourinho's words still haunt Leon

MADRID - Getafe's on-loan Real Madrid winger Pedro Leon says he felt "humiliated" by coach Jose Mourinho when he was playing for the Spanish giants last season.

Mourinho made headlines in Spain when he attacked Leon after being pressed by journalists about his decision to leave the player out of his squad for a Champions League match against Auxerre in France in September 2010.

"You talk of Pedro Leon as if he was Zinedine Zidane or Diego Maradona or Alfredo di Stefano, he's a great player who not long ago was playing at Getafe," the Portuguese coach said at the time.
