Real Madrid coach José Mourinho has criticized La Liga’s match scheduling. This came after Real Madrid's easy 3-0 win against Valencia on Saturday night.
After the match at Mestalla, Mourinho talked about the heavy demands on his players. This week, they played three matches and traveled a lot in a short time.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano on X, Mourinho expressed his frustration. He said, “I hope La Liga does this joke to someone else, not to us again.”
He added, “Tebas’s La Liga holds the power. I just hope they don’t pull a stunt like this again, the marathon of matches we’ve had this week. The players need rest.”
Mourinho emphasized that while rest is necessary, many of his players must now go for international duty. This is something he cannot control.
Goals from Federico Valverde, Arda Güler, and Kylian Mbappé helped Real Madrid secure the win. This victory kept them level on points with Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table. The result also continued Mourinho’s strong form since he returned to the club.
The Portuguese coach has often pointed out the recovery issues caused by the current schedule. He believes that it puts his team at a disadvantage compared to rivals with better match schedules.
