Troy Parrott scores winner as Jose Mourinho loses first game of Real Madrid return
Vicotry for Real Betis ended Real Madrid’s perfect start
Troy Parrott's late goal secured a dramatic win for Real Betis against their former club Real Madrid, marking Jose Mourinho's first loss of his second spell at the Spanish giants. The Republic of Ireland striker fired home nine minutes from full-time, only for Kylian Mbappe to equalise with a spectacular bicycle kick four minutes later.
Referee VAR ruled out Mbappe's equaliser for offside following a review. Substitute Carlos Espi met a cross from Vinicius Junior with a bicycle kick, but the goal was also deemed invalid for offside. Despite the loss, Mourinho praised his team's collective effort and commended the Betis players for their street smarts. Elsewhere, Paris Saint-Germain failed to start their Ligue 1 campaign on a winning note, with Monaco rallying to win 2-1.
