What happened. Mourinho used his Real Madrid press conference before the Elche trip to ask why journalists had not raised the penalties awarded to Barcelona and Atlético Madrid over the weekend. He brought up both decisions himself as he wrapped up his media duties.
- Barcelona got a penalty in their win over Levante after a foul on Lamine Yamal.
- Atlético Madrid were given a penalty for handball in their win over Real Sociedad.
- Mourinho did not elaborate before ending the session.
“¿Ninguna pregunta sobre los penaltis? Extraño, ¿no?”
— José Mourinho
