He even waited until the match kicked off to join his bench, reflecting the tense atmosphere.
In his official farewell statement, Mourinho expressed a message of respect and good wishes for Real Madrid and its fans. He acknowledged both the support and criticism he received during his tenure. Mourinho, who left Real Madrid to join Chelsea, stated, “We must respect the criticism of others. I wish all Real fans many joys in the future. I thank the many supporters for the support they have given me and respect the criticism of others. I repeat: many reasons for joy for all and above all, health for all. Go Madrid!”
