Mourinho did not achieve a victory in the way he prefers, but achieved the victory he desired. Real Madrid showed an irregular performance during several periods of the game, contrasting with the more solid display they presented in the defeat against Betis.
Mourinho's reunion with his former team provided a dramatic and contested ending by the fans. The final score of 2-1 did not reflect the overall quality of the team's performance, which faced difficulties in various phases of the match.
The victory was achieved through suffering, something that generated criticism from the fans who watched the match. Despite the flaws demonstrated on the field, Real Madrid managed to get the three points.
