Mourinho Calls LALIGA Schedule a ‘Joke’ After Real Madrid Beat Valencia 3-0

José Mourinho criticised LALIGA president Javier Tebas over fixture congestion after Real Madrid beat Valencia 3-0 at Mestalla on Saturday. The win put Madrid level on points with Barcelona at the top of the table and extended their league winning run to five matches. Mourinho said his players needed more rest after returning from a midweek European match in Athens at 3 a.m. before playing Valencia on Saturday afternoon. He called the schedule a “joke” and urged the league not to put his team through another such run of fixtures. Federico Valverde opened the scoring, with Arda Güler and Kylian Mbappé adding the other goals. Mourinho’s comments add to the ongoing tension between Real Madrid and the league.
