• Barcelona great criticises Real Madrid coach for actions
• Mourinho yet to discover whether he will be banned
José Mourinho is yet to discover whether he will be banned for poking the eye of a Barcelona coach during Real Madrid's Super Copa loss.
Johan Cruyff has said José Mourinho's eye-poke to one of Barcelona's assistant coaches was an "act of arrogance and impotence".
Mourinho could be banned for up to 12 games for poking the Barcelona assistant, Tito Vilanova, in the eye towards the end of last month's Spanish Super Copa.
Cruyff told El Periódico de Catalunya that he has never seen such an action in football before and that the Real Madrid coach's "obsession with Barcelona has gone beyond the limits".
The former Barcelona great and coach also criticised Sandro Rosell, saying the Barcelona president wanted to hire Mourinho over the current coach, Pep Guardiola, three years ago. Guardiola has guided Barcelona to 12 trophies since.
