José Mourinho, Real Madrid's coach, previewed the match against Betis and took the opportunity to comment on Lionel Messi's farewell from the Argentine national team. The Argentine announced his retirement from the albiceleste team after a decades-long career, leaving the footballing world processing the news.

Mourinho stated that, with Messi's move to Inter Miami, European fans will now have to follow Major League Soccer games. However, the Portuguese coach admitted that he is not much of a fan of this league and showed some reluctance about having to follow the American league.

Real Madrid is thus preparing to face Betis in a match that comes in the middle of a period of reflection in international football following the news regarding Messi.
