If José Mourinho, as expected, was watching television when Osasuna confirmed their 2-1 victory over Real Madrid with a goal from Raúl García de Haro, he surely took note of what he can do next Wednesday to try to secure his “team” Benfica a ticket to the Champions League round of 16.
Mourinho’s decisions may be influenced by Real Madrid’s weaknesses when any of these players (especially Vinicius and Mbappé) are on the pitch, because while they are guaranteed in attack, they are careless in defence and create a lot of space. .
Thus, Mourinho’s team, which has not lost a league game since he took charge and which achieved a resounding 3-0 victory over Santa Clara, comes into Wednesday’s game in high spirits and with a fierce desire to win. More importantly, it has nothing to lose, so the game will not be easy for Real Madrid.
