Where does the “Zero Trophies” meme come from?
On 3 March 2009, following a controversial 3-3 draw between Inter Milan and Roma marked by a disputed penalty involving Mario Balotelli, José Mourinho held a press conference denouncing what he called intellectual prostitution in Italian football, predicting that Roma and AC Milan would end the season zero tituli, a deliberate mangling of the Italian word titoli, meaning trophies. The phrase became a lasting, ironic expression for a sporting season ending without any title won.
