José Mourinho criticised the Spanish league after his team beat Racing Santander 3-0 on Sunday evening in the eleventh round, objecting to a fixture schedule that requires his team to play four consecutive away matches.
Mourinho said he would make changes to his lineup for the match against AEK Athens to give his regular starters a rest, and described his team’s away match against Racing as a “gift” from the league. The matches he referred to included Barcelona, Racing Santander, Athens and Valencia.
He also criticised what he saw as a lack of coordination and support for Spanish clubs competing in Europe, saying Spanish football should want its clubs to win their European matches. The source’s writer linked Mourinho’s remarks to the refereeing controversy in the match, particularly Mbappé’s penalty, suggesting it had shifted attention away from the controversial incident.
