After the Madrid derby, Jose Mourinho appeared at the pre-conference with breakdowns of two controversial episodes of the match. The Portuguese appreciates that Atletico Madrid will win two cards of red for the episodes involving Jude Bellingham and Federico Valverde.

“We could have skipped the pre-conference, because the story of the match is already here,” Mourinho said, showing photographs to journalists. In his words, through these episodes Real Madrid could have come to grips with the situation if they had lost against nine Atletico players.

The Madrid coach especially criticized head referee Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias and VAR referee Daniel Trujillo. Mourinho said that the referee did not get into the grip of the derby, and also showed respect to those who interfered with VAR in one episode, but failed to do so in another.

" “This is a Committee with the recognition of arbitrators,” the Portuguese sarcastically summed up..

The match itself ended with Atletico defeating Rahun 2:1. After Dean Haysen's penalty, the Gospodars scored a penalty and scored another goal, and Real Madrid lost the news with a goal from Antonio Rudiger in the end..

Mourinho also praised his players, saying that they played a strong first half and showed character despite being unimpressed in difficult situations.
