The confrontation comes after a blow suffered by Real Madrid locally, when it fell to Real Betis with an unanswered goal in the fourth round of the Spanish League, which is the first loss for the team this season and also the first for Mourinho since his return to leading the royal team.
The Portuguese coach did not have a long opportunity to deal with the effects of the defeat, as he found himself quickly required to prepare for his first European match.
According to the AS newspaper, Mourinho’s main problem is currently the midfield, after several factors came together at the same time.
Bernardo Silva, Arda Guler, and Eduardo Camavinga are absent due to the European suspension, while Aurelien Chouamini continues to recover from injury, so the natural options available to Mourinho are very limited.
The trio of Bernardo, Guller and Camavinga had suffered penalties from last European season’s matches, while Tshwamini did not recover in time to join the confrontation.

According to the newspaper, Federico Valverde has become the only midfield specialist naturally available to Mourinho, which makes the task of forming this line more complex. (Erm News)
