Real Madrid's form: a first defeat under Mourinho

Real Madrid arrive on the back of their first loss of the season, a 1-0 defeat at Real Betis on 4 September. Troy Parrott scored the winner in the 81st minute, Kylian Mbappe had a stoppage-time penalty saved by Alvaro Valles, and a late Real Madrid equaliser was ruled out by VAR for offside.

Before that, Mourinho's side had been scoring freely. They beat Malaga 4-0 on 30 August, Real Sociedad 4-1 on 26 August and won 2-1 at Espanyol on 22 August in LaLiga, after a pre-season that included a 3-0 win at Schalke. Three wins from four league games is a decent start. The Betis result is the one that lingers, and it came four days before this.

Mourinho played down the stakes on Monday, saying it is "not a knockout round or a group stage like the old days" but that "every point is important". He also called Inter coach Cristian Chivu, who played under him in Inter's 2010 treble side, "one of my own".
