Mourinho Lashes Out at 'Ridiculous' Criticism of Mbappe
Mourinho said Mbappé fulfilled his recovery duties and will start against Villarreal, dismissing fan claims after photos from Paris and Switzerland sparked scrutiny.
- Real Madrid face Villarreal tomorrow in Liga, sitting in fourth place with Barcelona winning all seven opening games, intensifying pressure on Mourinho's men to secure victory and keep pace in the title race.
- Mbappe continues managing a recurring knee injury sustained playing for France against Turkey, while facing criticism after being spotted at a Parisian nightclub and riding a bike in the Swiss Alps.
- Defending his star, Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho emphasized that being a player requires commitment "24 hours" a day, noting Mbappe has scored 94 goals in 111 games since joining from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024.
- Mourinho promised any Real Madrid player failing to fulfill professional obligations will be sidelined, urging critics to "read between the lines" regarding team dynamics rather than focusing on external controversies.
- Dismissing intense media focus, Mourinho suggested finding negative stories is a "great victory" for journalists, noting even giant stories including Manchester City or Cristiano Ronaldo have not satiated the constant search for news.
