José Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid has suffered its first setback. Real Betis beat the visitors 1-0 in Andalusia, ending Madrid’s perfect start to the La Liga season.
Real Madrid had opened the campaign with three wins against Real Sociedad, Espanyol and Málaga. In Seville, however, Troy Parrott broke the deadlock in the 81st minute and Betis held on through a tense finish.
Madrid then had a major chance to rescue a point. Álvaro Valles saved Kylian Mbappé’s penalty in stoppage time, preserving Betis’ victory and handing Mourinho his first defeat since returning to the club.
The result ended Real Madrid’s unbeaten run after three rounds. The fourth-round schedule also included Valencia against Barcelona, with Barcelona able to move clear at the top if Madrid’s defeat opened the way.
