Real Madrid secures a crucial 2-1 victory over Barcelona in the first El Clasico of the season at Camp Nou. Following the match, manager Jose Mourinho delivers a lighthearted remark directed at the home supporters.
Mourinho playfully dedicates the win to the opposing fans who gathered outside the team hotel. He mentions that their chants throughout the day prevented him from taking his usual afternoon nap before the fixture.
“I dedicate this victory to the Barca supporters who didn’t let me take a nap at the hotel today,”
Through careful tactical preparation, Mourinho extends his personal unbeaten streak in El Clasico matches to six games, comprising four wins and two draws during his tenure with Real Madrid. This achievement places him alongside Miguel Muñoz and Vicente del Bosque as one of the club managers with the longest undefeated runs in this fixture.
Looking ahead, Mourinho emphasizes the psychological importance of the victory and notes that squad rotation remains a key strategy. He highlights the depth of the team and confirms that player selection depends entirely on physical readiness and tactical needs rather than a fixed starting lineup.
