Several Real Madrid players snubbed Michael Essien 30th birthday party last December even though the Ghanaian invited all of them, it has been revealed.

According to an English newspaper the Sun, the on-loan Chelsea star invited all his Madrid colleagues to his birthday bash but only a handful of them turned up.

The underwhelming response at the birthday party was just further confirmation for coach Jose Mourinho of what he knew already.

That his Real Madrid squad was a gathering of egotistical Galacticos more interested in themselves than the team.

And it was left to the Bernabeu boss to console his upset player.

He told the Ghana international that it was nothing personal — it was not that his team-mates did not like him and, sadly, it was not because they had anything better to do.

It was simply because they were more interested in themselves than anything or anyone else.

A superstar ego to go with their superstar talents. Mourinho was speaking from bitter experience because he had come up against it himself.

Players believing they were bigger than their coach, maybe even bigger than the club.

And Mourinho had to try to counter that attitude from day one.

Essien’s birthday snub was not the incident that convinced Mourinho he had to leave Los Blancos.

He had already made his mind up by then.

It was just the perfect example of the flawed philosophy that festered within the dressing room.
 
lookit all dese timewastin' oppahtoonatees.

hah ref blowing for every minor challenge on benfica. Meanwhile, nearly kill a man without even playing the ball, no worries.
 
There is absolutely nothing good about Portugese football. Just 'toevalvoetbal' as we dutch call it. Based on diving, agression and luck.
 
loving how the english commentators are absolutely disgusted at the simulation and petty timewasting benfica is guilty of here.

"we need to review the laws" lol.
 
the time wasting bitching is hilarious, given that the Fenerbache keeper saw a yellow in the 1st leg for... wait a minute... TIME WASTING!!!!

I don;t trust the Sun but feel very bad for Essien if true.

This would never have happened at Chelsea.

It's a fucking disgrace, so embarrassing. This is why I would hate to support a team in the Portuguese/Spanish league.

Time wasting cunts who just bum rush the ref at every decision.

Dude are you serious? You just saw Artur take a knee to a back in the penalty box and then dive and now you complain about a hand ball like 2 feet from the shot and with the hands down?

Typical. Team full of cunts.

Essien obviously would have had a good time still, he invited them to not hurt their feelings, not because he likes them. He was happy as fuck when they didn't show up.

So if you said 'hey friends come for birthday drinks' and none turned up, you wouldn't be sad?

:(

Something has to change or Madrid needs to get rid of those bad seeds there.
 
Essien should've invited Didier, then when no one else turned up he could have made a youtube video telling them all they're a fucking disgrace

I hate this sentiment so much, my friend used to say it whenever I mentioned a celebrity or a footballer and what they're up to.
