Incident Draws Attention After Early Clash
Mourinho said he had not viewed any footage of the elbow by Güler on Gerard Peque Fernandez that occurred when the score stood at 0-0. The referee took no action, and the Madrid manager expressed confusion over the continued focus on the moment. Sevilla coach Luis Garcia Plaza argued the team should have continued with an extra player from the 25th minute onward and described the decision as a denial of a fair contest for the remaining 65 minutes.
Scoreline Overshadows Debate
Mourinho suggested the discussion served to shift attention from the final 4-1 outcome, with goals scored by Güler, Mbappé and Diomande. The result left Madrid six points behind Barcelona ahead of the upcoming Clásico. He noted that requests for images from broadcast and team cameras yielded nothing clear and added that he would address any confirmed evidence if presented before the weekend.
Team Choices and Upcoming Schedule
The victory marked Madrid's third straight win following the international break. Mourinho had opted to place Güler in central midfield and include Endrick in the lineup after their recent performances. The side now prepares for a Champions League match against RB Leipzig before facing Barcelona.
