José Mourinho defends Real Madrid after Champions League victory over Inter

Real Madrid manager José Mourinho rejected criticism of his team's performance following a 2-1 victory over FC Internazionale Milano in the Champions League on September 8 at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Despite the win, the coach faced scrutiny from supporters and media members who expressed dissatisfaction with the team's style of play. Mourinho argued that his side maintained a two-goal lead for much of the match and possessed the offensive capability to score as many as eight goals. The club continues to focus on building team commitment following a previous defeat to Betis. Elsewhere in the opening round of the tournament, Como secured a 4-1 victory against RB Leipzig, while Napoli fell to Arsenal and Roma recorded a 1-1 draw against Fenerbahce.
