Real Madrid has decided to close the chapter of controversy with La Liga and focus attention on the championship, preparing the match against Sevilla. At the pre-match press conference, coach JoséMourinho responded firmly to the recent statements by La Liga president JavierTebas, who had compared the club's communication strategies to those of Goebbels. Mourinho reiterated that "it can only be forgiven if it is a clinical case", underlining that the comparison is unacceptable and that Real Madrid would not tolerate such a serious analogy. The club has already published an official statement stating that it is "absolutely intolerable and extremely serious" that a high-level figure in Spanish football would use such a sensitive comparison to discredit the club's management and television channel.
Meanwhile, Mourinho returned to the discussion on the recent Champions League victory against Roma, focusing in particular on Vinicius' performance. The player was suspended for four matches in the league due to the chaos that occurred during the match against Villarreal. Mourinho declared that "Vinicius had a very difficult match" and placed the main responsibility on Gasperini, stating that the Italian manager had "attacked with only one flank, three men against Cucurella and him". The Portuguese coach added that he was happy with the disqualification, as he thought Vinicius would have been suspended for longer.
Mourinho also expressed the tiredness of his staff, citing observations from the medical department: "Whoever has played the most is tired." He explained that the team will try to take advantage of the opportunities for changes at home to introduce fresh energy, especially in view of the match against Sevilla, who have shown that they are playing well and fighting even in lost matches. “Tomorrow is another day,” he said, “and we want to win.”
With the match against Sevilla scheduled, Real Madrid are preparing to use their strength at home to consolidate their position in the table, while the dispute with La Liga remains a point of reference for relations between the club and the administration of Spanish football. The club's management reiterated its firm stance against offensive comments, while the coach continues to focus on the team's performance and human resources management in view of the upcoming challenges.
