Nacho Defends Mourinho After Real Madrid’s Controversial Derby Defeat
Former Real Madrid captain Nacho Fernández has backed José Mourinho’s reaction to the club’s controversial 2-1 derby loss to Atlético Madrid. Real Madrid had Dean Huijsen sent off in the second half for a last-man foul, with Alejandro Grimaldo scoring the resulting penalty. Jonathan David added Atlético’s second before Antonio Rüdiger scored late for Madrid. Mourinho argued that Atlético players Cristian Romero and Lee Kang-in should also have been sent off earlier in the match. Nacho said referees can make mistakes, but insisted such major decisions can determine results. He added that Mourinho speaks his mind while defending his team, and that his outspoken nature does not sit well with everyone. The defeat leaves Real Madrid six points behind Barcelona after six league matches.
