Mourinho Confused by Madrid's 1-0 Loss to Betis

José Mourinho, the current coach of Real Madrid, could not explain his team's 1-0 defeat to Real Betis during their La Liga match on Thursday at La Cartuja. Despite dominating the encounter, Madrid failed to convert their chances, with Troy Parrott scoring the decisive goal in the 81st minute after Thibaut Courtois saved a header from Nelson Deossa.

In stoppage time, Madrid had a chance to equalize when Vinicius Junior was fouled in the box, but Kylian Mbappe's penalty was saved by Betis goalkeeper Alvaro Valles. This loss marked the end of Madrid's perfect start to the season, having previously won three consecutive matches.

Mourinho praised his team's performance, stating they were solid and created numerous scoring opportunities, but lamented that deserving to win does not guarantee points. Both teams now sit on nine points after four matches, with Madrid's record being three wins and one loss.
