‘We clearly deserved to win’: Mourinho frustrated after Real Madrid’s defeat to Betis

Real Madrid's head coach, Jose Mourinho, expressed frustration following his team's 1-0 defeat to Real Betis in La Liga. Mourinho questioned several referee decisions during the match and stated that his team had done enough to secure a win. Despite controlling the early phases of the game, creating two quality chances, and having several close calls, Madrid ultimately lost the match.

Betis goalkeeper Valles made an impressive display, saving multiple shots, including one from Gonzalo Espi that was disallowed. Valencia's goalkeeper also made a crucial save from a Deossa header in the 80th minute. Mourinho was book during the tense encounter and also voiced his dissatisfaction with the referee's disciplinary decisions, especially the first-half yellow card for Arda Guler.

He did not comment on the penalty situation or an earlier disallowed goal by Gonzalo Espi, stating that he had not seen the incidents again. Despite the loss, Mourinho praised his players for their collective effort and individual performance. This marked Madrid's first loss of the season, pushing them to second place in the league table, while Barcelona maintained their top position with a better goal difference.
