Mourinho claims unfair comparisons between Real Madrid and Barcelona

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho expressed that comparing his team to Barcelona ahead of their La Liga Clasico on Sunday is unjust. Madrid sits third in the league, six points behind the unbeaten leaders, Barcelona, who recently suffered their first defeat of the season against Paris Saint-Germain. Mourinho emphasized the early stage of his tenure, having only been in charge for a few months, and disagreed with perceptions of his squad as 'a finished product'. He remarked that past performances do not define the outcome of the Clasico, which he views as a unique event. Mourinho also noted he will not adjust tactics specifically for Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, despite the player's impressive form.
