Mourinho is banned over eye-poking
During the incident, Mourinho appeared to jab a finger in the eye of Barcelona assistant Tito Vilanova, who was yesterday handed a one-match ban by the RFEF for his involvement.
Vilanova responded to Mourinho’s actions by striking the Portuguese on the side of the head as the match – which saw Barca emerge 3-2 winners on the night to claim the Supercopa 5-4 on aggregate – finished in ugly scenes at the Nou Camp.

Madrid and Barca were also fined €180 and €90 respectively for the fracas.
The incident took place at the end of the second leg when Madrid defender Marcelo was sent off for a crude tackle on Barca debutant Cesc Fabregas, sparking a bust-up that saw Mourinho’s clash with Vilanova and red cards for substituted players David Villa and Mesut Ozil.
