Mourinho’s Madrid Ready for Battle | MLS News

Real Madrid kicks off their new season with a high-stakes away clash against Espanyol, marking José Mourinho’s return to the dugout. After an uneven finish last year, the team has surged in preseason—undefeated with four wins and a draw—and looks sharper than ever under Mourinho’s leadership. The real test? Integrating Mbappé, Bellingham, and Vinícius into a seamless attack, now further complicated by the addition of Yan Diomande. Espanyol, though middling last season, are flying high after a 3-0 win over Levante and will bring confidence to the pitch. This match is Mourinho’s first true proving ground: can his tactical vision translate into competitive success? All eyes are on the Bernabéu for answers.
