José Mourinho, Real Madrid's coach, made a peculiar statement during a public appearance, ironically questioning the absence of questions about penalties. The Portuguese coach asked if no one was going to address the topic, finding the silence on the matter strange.
Mourinho spoke indirectly about penalty plays that were allegedly controversial and beneficial to Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. The absence of questions on the topic from journalists apparently prompted his ironic comment.
The Real Madrid coach thus demonstrated his discomfort with refereeing decisions that allegedly favored their direct rivals in the fight for the Spanish title. The tension between Spain's main clubs seems to be reflected in Mourinho's words.
