Mourinho's Real Madrid Falls to Betis in 1-0 Defeat
Jose Mourinho suffered his first defeat since returning to Real Madrid as Los Blancos were defeated 1-0 by Real Betis in LaLiga on Friday. Real Madrid entered the match with a perfect record from their first three league games but struggled to impose their game against a disciplined Betis side.
Although Madrid controlled possession, they failed to create significant scoring opportunities. Betis took the lead in the 81st minute with a goal from Troy Parrott, which heightened the pressure on Madrid.
In a bid to equalize, Real Madrid was awarded a penalty after Vinicius Junior was fouled, but Kylian Mbappe's attempt was saved by Betis goalkeeper Álvaro Valles. This defeat ended Real Madrid's perfect start to the LaLiga season and highlighted ongoing challenges for Mourinho's team, particularly against Betis, where they have not won since 2021.
Mourinho is now tasked with rallying his players for their next league match.
