José Mourinho prepares Real Madrid for Champions League opener against Inter Milan

Real Madrid manager José Mourinho enters the UEFA Champions League group phase opener against Inter Milan on Tuesday calling for increased stability at the club. Mourinho returned to the Santiago Bernabéu to begin a fourth stint at the helm following a period he described as a complicated season. The team prepares for the European fixture shortly after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Real Betis in La Liga on Friday, a match decided by an 81st-minute goal from Troy Parrott. Mourinho noted that despite the need for structural improvements within the squad, the objective remains winning every competition. He contrasted the current state of Real Madrid with the organizational structure he observed during his time at Inter Milan, citing the work of coaches including Simone Inzaghi and Antonio Conte. The match against the Italian side marks a significant reunion for the 63-year-old manager.
