Catalan legend played in the team of Pep Guardiola and claims that the international selection was penalized while the Portuguese boss was at the top of the stars of Madrid
The former Barcelona midfielder, Andreas Iniesta, said that Jose Mourinho had created an unbearable atmosphere between the Barca and Real Madrid players when he was at the controls of the Santiago Bernabeu.
Iniesta signed a brilliant career with the Catalan giants at the end of last season and now plays for the Japanese club Vissel Kobe.
Mourinho has developed a fierce rivalry with Barca's boss Pep Guardiola, while he was at the helm at Real 2010-13. Meanwhile, the Spanish international team began to decline after winning at the 2012 European Championships, escaping from the 2014 World Cup in the group stage.

"You have not seen the rivalry that still existed before, it goes beyond, you've seen hate.That atmosphere has developed and was unbearable.
"The Barca-Madrid tension caused by Mourinho caused a lot of damage to the national team [Spain] and teammates. "

While preparing for the goalless draw of his team with Crystal Palace, Mourinho said the quartet was under maturity. His manner of dealing with other players was also questioned, particularly with regard to the spinoffs he had with former vice-captain Paul Pogba.
