“How fresh,” proclaimed the speaker of Real Betis twenty minutes before the start of the match at La Cartuja, with 35 degrees temperature and the humidity from the Guadalquivir turning the stadium into a real cauldron. “I haven’t seen the plays in detail, the controversies. I can’t comment on that,” said Jose Mourinho. “The team played a great game. Sometimes you lose and don’t know why. We were very dominant, with the central defenders imperial and a lot of offensive play and many chances. If it ended in a draw, we would be frustrated. Espí did his job very well, he has great potential. He will improve because he is humble and wants to work. I am very happy with him,” he added.

“It’s hard to change Ada, he was playing very well. The Betis players are smarter than Madrid’s, there were clear yellows for Betis players, but our players get up faster. They don’t get up and then they have a fantastic crowd. I don’t understand how Arda had a yellow,” he continued when asked about the refereeing.
“The team was always good. Betis had some counterattacks, but the match was ours. We created a lot, many shots, and missed three or four clear ones. Their goalkeeper was impressive. The changes were due to cards and to go on the attack against a low block. A reference player and Kylian on the wing,” he added.

“A Betis player seemed to be dead, then I haven’t seen the plays. I saw frustrated people on the bench, but I haven’t seen them, honestly. The referee let the game flow, I like that. Maybe I didn’t like the yellow card criteria. But we lost and it wasn’t because of a yellow card,” admitted the Portuguese. “Betis played to draw and ended up winning,” he said. “I am happy with all my players and when one takes a penalty, we do it all together,” he reflected referring to the penalty missed by Mbappé.

“During the week I knew he had taken them wide. I tried to hold him as long as possible. That’s the side he had chosen. Before I told him how lucky he was, a penalty in the last minute, how lucky, to try to distract him,” said Álvaro Valles, Betis’ goalkeeper, who was the best player of the Andalusian team and held the team with his saves. “In the end, there were some very exciting, tense minutes. We know the quality of Madrid up front and they crowded the area. We managed to get the victory, clean sheet and keep going, there is much left to do,” added the Andalusian goalkeeper.
“Madrid played a great game, but so did we. VAR is there to review these plays and we won. That makes five visits without Madrid winning here,” said Bartra. “I saw his documentary and it’s clear that Mourinho likes to divert attention,” when asked about Mourinho’s statements regarding the craftiness of Betis players and the naivety of Madrid players.
“It was a special match for me. After the setback against Levante, this victory is the best way to keep growing,” said Fran García, Betis’ left back, with a past at Madrid.
