Jose Mourinho has hit back at claims he "damaged" Spanish football during his time at Real Madrid.
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta told the media in Spain that he was not sorry to see Mourinho leave La Liga and accused him of doing "more harm than good."
"I damaged Spanish football by being the manager that broke Barcelona dominance," the Portugese coach said.
"They were dominant and dominant and dominant and it looked like it was a dominance without an end.
"Real Madrid won the cup final against Barcelona, Real Madrid win the Super Cup against Barcelona, Real Madrid won in Barcelona and Real Madrid won the championship which is the historical
championship of 100 points and 121 goals."
Mourinho also guided Real to the Champions League semi-finals in all three of his seasons in chargeand, while he failed to land the ultimate prize, insisted he was proud of his time in charge.
"We couldn't get the Champions League which was an ambition but it's very difficult to do it," he
added.
"You never know when you are going to do and it's so difficult at Madrid that before I arrived they
couldn't reach not even the quarter final for six years.
"We got into the semis, we couldn't win it. Other teams did it, I'm happy Chelsea did it, I'm happy
Bayern did it because they deserve it after such a fantastic season.
