  "account": "Real Madrid secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Barcelona in the second Clasico of Jose Mourinho's first spell at the club, a significant turnaround from the 5-0 defeat in his previous encounter. Despite Barcelona's dominance in shots on goal, possession and passes, Real Madrid's coach praised his team's performance as organized, focused and demonstrating courage against the relentless Barcelona pressure. Fede Valverde, playing through injury in right-back, showcased his tactical awareness to capitalize on turnovers. The captain's performance instilled confidence within the squad and bolstered Mourinho's belief that his tactics can help Real Madrid reclaim its dominance in Spanish football.",
  "summary": "An organised Real Madrid showed the courage to play the ball out from the back in the 2-1 win against an opponent that applied a lot of pressure.",
