Mourinho will not change his tactics to suit star striker Ronaldo
Jose Mourinho insists the images from Wednesday's loss to Barcelona back up his claims of foul play.
The Real Madrid manager was charged by Uefa for 'inappropriate comments' in the aftermath of the 2-0 Champions League semi-final first-leg defeat.
Mourinho claimed that Barcelona had been given favourable treatment by the referee and that they had yet to win a 'clean' Champions League title under Pep Guardiola.
In typically flamboyant fashion, Mourinho, who was sent off during the game, sidestepped the questions when asked about the Uefa charges.
"I am very well, thank you. I am in good health and working as always," he said.
Working
"I don't want to discuss this any further and for a simple reason.
"An image is worth more than 1000 words and there are so many images and those who criticise those images think they come from Photoshop or are a video montage. But they are real."
Mourinho had been linked with a departure away from Madrid in the summer after numerous clashes with the club's hierarchy during the campaign.
But he has revealed this incident has strengthened his resolve to stay at the club.
"To remain at Real Madrid makes more sense than ever before," he added.
Willingness
"Now I have more willingness to continue in charge of Real Madrid for what this means. This (Madrid) jersey is white, and white has more significance."
Mourinho is already preparing for the return leg and will rest top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo for this weekend's Primera Liga match against Real Zaragoza.
The Portugal attacker has voiced his displeasure at his countryman's defensive tactics adopted against Barcelona.
"I don't like it, but I have to adapt because that's the way it is," he said.
But his coach hit back saying: "He can say what he wants - that's his opinion. It's not a problem for me."
