Jose Mourinho claimed his seventh domestic title — confirmed last night after his Real Madrid side clinched the Primera Division crown with a 3-0 win at Athletic Bilbao — was the toughest of his career. Mourinho has now won titles in four different countries following previous successes with Porto in his native Portugal, Chelsea in England and Inter Milan in Italy.
