Mourinho's Madrid Wins in La Liga Return

Real Madrid secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Espanyol thanks to Carlos Espi's late goal in José Mourinho's return to La Liga coaching. The Portuguese manager, who previously coached Madrid from 2010-2013, saw his team overcome an early setback after Jude Bellingham had given them the lead.

Espanyol equalized through Alex Calatrava in the 30th minute, setting up a tense finish. Espi's decisive strike in the closing minutes ensured Mourinho could celebrate his comeback with three crucial points, having been reappointed as Madrid coach in June. tbzikra.org
