“I Wouldn’t Still Be Here” - Jose Mourinho Says He Would Leave Real Madrid if He Was in Vinicius Jr’s Shoes

Mourinho defended Vinicius Jr. as the forward faced criticism and a four-match suspension, saying he would have forced a move elsewhere.

  • Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho stated Saturday he would have forced an exit from the club this summer if in Vinicius Junior's position, citing the forward's struggles with respect and treatment.
  • Vinicius's four-match suspension followed his red card against Villarreal last Saturday for hair pulling, forcing the Brazilian to miss the Clasico match against Barcelona on October 25.

  • Real Madrid demanded the resignation of La Liga president Javier Tebas on Friday after he compared the club's referee criticism to 'those propaganda techniques,' though Tebas later clarified his remarks.
  • Madrid faces Sevilla on Sunday, aiming to narrow the gap behind league leaders Barcelona, while Barcelona visits Real Betis later on Saturday.
