The veteran trainer has taken out time to voice his opinion regarding his side’s latest defeat, saluting the opposition for being worthy of their triumph.
Real Madrid head coach, Jose Mourinho, has mentioned a number of issues which resulted in his team’s loss; however, he was sure to point out that his team’s competitors deserved to win.
The current Spanish champions travelled to Estadio Benito Villamarín this past Saturday in order to face Real Betis in continuance of their Liga BBVA campaign. Although the fixture was closely competitive and stayed open until the final whistle, it ended
in disappointment for Los Blancos.
To the dismay of the Madrid fans, Los Merengues were humbled to a 1-0 loss at the hands of the hosts. Benat was the only scorer from the night.
Despite being tipped as heavy contenders to win the fixture, they could not manage to break through the Betis defence as the match progressed. The only noticeable moment came for the Whites when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 found the back of the net, but the goal was ruled
out as it was controversially given offside.
As a result, Jose Mourinho’s men have dropped lower in the Spanish Primera Division’s standings table as they are now third. In addition to their defeat, a victory over Levante has allowed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 to widen the gap between the two teams to 11 points at
the top of the Liga table.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan boss stressed that Betis were the better team during the encounter and had outdone themselves, which is the reason that they were victors. In addition, he also pointed out a number of other factors which caused his side’s failure.
While talking to Marca, the 49-year-old quoted:
"I congratulated the Betis players because they gave it everything they had, they fought and showed a great deal of character and it's not their fault that Benzema's goal was wrongly disallowed and the clear penalty in the last few minutes wasn't given.
They deserve my respect because they were the better team.”
With Barcelona 11 points ahead of them in the Spanish Primera standings, Real Madrid are currently in trouble as they struggle in the defence of the title.
