José Mourinho’s second spell at Real Madrid has begun with a defeat. Betis Sevilla beat the Spanish record champions 1-0 at home in the opening match of the fourth round.
The result turned on Real Madrid’s missed opportunities. The visitors failed to convert several major chances, then lost their clearest late opening when Kylian Mbappé missed a penalty in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
Betis goalkeeper Álvaro Vallés saved Mbappé’s spot kick. Earlier, Irish forward Troy Parrott had scored the late goal that delivered Betis an unexpected victory.
For Real Madrid, the loss was the first under Mourinho since his return to the club. The team’s wastefulness in front of goal proved costly in Seville.
