Speaking after the game, Mourinho said his team looked fresh, tired and extremely tired at different stages of the match.

“This is Real Madrid with the players we have. As I told the boys before the match, Real Madrid is Real Madrid,” Mourinho told the club website.
“Whether it’s a friendly or a training match, it’s Real Madrid. We have to seek evolution but also achieve results to honor our history. I had to put on the field the men I had available.
“I had to pair Trent and Dumfries together and try to find a dynamic that would allow this style of play.
“We only worked yesterday in preparation for the match because the goal is not to work on just one game.
“We did a little organizational work to have a team that knows what to do on the field. I am very happy with the work of the boys from day one.”
Mourinho said he was pleased with the work carried out by his players since the first day, although he remains concerned by the absence of the rest of the squad.

“I am very happy with the work the players have done since the first day,” he said. “What worries me is the absence of the other players. I would have liked to have had three weeks of work with them too, but that is not possible.”
Vinicius, Brahim Diaz and Bernardo Silva are due to arrive on Monday. Dumfries, Carlos Espi and Endrick will also have more training sessions behind them as Real Madrid continue to build towards full squad involvement.
“For now, I have not felt anything special, because the real matches have not begun yet,” Mourinho said.
