With the year coming to end just so we can do it all over yet again, but a little bit older and a little bit closer to inevitable death, now is a time when people look back on the last 12 months and evaluate just how disappointing it was.
Unless you're Jose Mourinho, of course, in which case it's just another opportunity to publicly announce how awesome you are.
Said Mourinho to RealMadrid.com prior to his side's 10-man victory over Sevilla on Sunday:
"This has been the best year in my career. I would give myself an 11 out of 10. I won every championship I played in last season and we currently have lost none of our chances to win titles at Real Madrid. The league is very open still. We've qualified for the Last 16 both in the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. We also were the best side in the Champions League group stage. This season has been perfect for us so far."
Well, that 5-0 loss to Barcelona might have made it a smidge less than perfect, but he still has a point. Winning the treble with Inter and then preventing the galactic weight of Real Madrid from imploding in on itself within his first half year on the job would qualify as the best year in most anyone's career.
Speaking of Jose's old club, he's standing by his statements at the start of the season and still maintaining that the team belongs to him, as do the trophies Rafa Benitez wins with the club.
"I am very happy and feel very proud for Inter Milan's success in the FIFA Club World Cup. It was a great pleasure to train them, just as it is to coach Real Madrid. I thought Rafa Benitez would thank me for practically winning the title for him, but... Inter Milan fans would tell you how they really feel about it."
How do Inter fans really feel about it? Well, they feel orgasmou. Naturally.
