Spanish media were also quite critical of Real Madrid despite their victory, but Mourinho did not share the same view.
“Then these people don’t say that we defended well or that we could have scored eight goals,” he said on Friday via Marca.
“There will be boring matches where the teams don’t take risks and finish 0-0. Against Inter, we could have put four, but we could have put eight. Why don’t they say so? Aren’t they happy because we won?
“The staff is very happy; we have suffered and lost together against Betis. We have that feeling and commitment to work for Madrid. We will do our best to make people happy.”
