Betis beat Real Madrid as Mbappe misses penalty in first La Liga defeat

Jose Mourinho's winning start to his second spell at Real Madrid ends with a 1-0 La Liga defeat at Real Betis.

Real Madrid are set to face off against Real Betis in La Liga, aiming for their fourth consecutive win. Jose Mourinho's team is one of two clubs, alongside Barcelona, to have started the season perfectly. The starting lineup for the upcoming match against Manuel Pellegrini's side includes several changes compared to the one that played against Malaga.

Arda Guler replaces Brahim Diaz on the right flank, while Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Jude Bellingham form the attacking trio. Yan Diomande remains on the bench as a marquee summer signing. Midfield remains unchanged with Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde, while Bernardo Silva is left out. In defense, Denzel Dumfries and Ibrahima Konate take the place of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Antonio Rudiger respectively. Dean Huijsen and Marc Cucurella complete the backline, with Thibaut Courtois in goal.
