Ricardo Carvalho Regrets Crossing the Line Against Messi in Mourinho-Era El Clásicos
Former Real Madrid defender Ricardo Carvalho says he regrets the aggressive tactics his team used against Barcelona during José Mourinho’s time in charge. Speaking on John Obi Mikel’s podcast, he admitted that some players crossed the line while trying to get results against a Barcelona side he considered superior in possession and footballing quality. Carvalho said the players were responsible for their own conduct and did not blame Mourinho alone. He now sees football as more than physical battles and recalled how his 10-year-old son found old footage of him challenging Lionel Messi online. Carvalho said he regrets those moments and tells his son not to watch the clips.
