Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho remained non-committal about where he will be next term after his side lost 2-1 in the Copa del Rey final against local rivals Atletico Madrid to round off the "worst season" of his life.

Mourinho also praised goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois - on loan at Atletico from Chelsea - who made two outstanding saves in extra time to deny Gonzalo Higuain and Mesut Ozil, but also cursed his team's luck, as Ronaldo, Ozil and Karim Benzema all hit the woodwork, while Ozil had a shot blocked on the line by Atletico defender Juanfran. "He is a fantastic young goalkeeper with great potential and I think his club has to decide his future and that club is Chelsea," he said. "He made fantastic saves but they were not just fantastic saves - Saint Mary must have been behind the goal. Three shots off the post is too much." Mourinho refusd to comment on the second-half incident which saw him sent to the stands.
