Messi leads Miami to victory in his first match after international retirement

Real Madrid's Portuguese coach, Jose Mourinho, missed the press conference on Saturday evening, after the victory over Villarreal in the Spanish Football League, in protest against the red card received by Brazilian Vinicius Junior, according to what the club confirmed to Agence France-Presse.

Vinicius, who entered the second half after sitting on the bench for the first time this season, thought he had scored a goal just before he was sent off for pulling Canadian Nathan Saliba's hair at the beginning of the attack (71). He may be suspended for several matches.

The Portuguese coach, angry at this decision, canceled his press conference, and did not go to the microphone of the official broadcasters of the Spanish League, even though this is considered one of his obligations after every match.

The Real Madrid coach is known to be accustomed to such media movements, and he exposes himself to disciplinary punishment from the Spanish League and a large financial fine due to his breach of his obligations.

This incident is reminiscent of what happened before the 2025 King's Cup final, when Real Madrid decided to boycott protocol media activities in protest against the appointment of a referee who had denounced the pressure exerted by Real Madrid TV.

On the other hand, on Sunday morning, Vinicius posted a brief message of apology via his Instagram account, in which he said: “The joys continue... I apologize to my team and the fans.”

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick expressed his happiness with the 3-0 victory over Getafe, ensuring that the Catalan team remained at the top of the Spanish League, achieving the full mark with eight victories in eight matches.

Flick also praised his team's performance in the first test after the three-week international break.

The German coach said on the DAZN platform after the match that took place on Saturday evening, “Scoring an early goal was important for many considerations, such as returning from a three-week hiatus and against a defensively strong team like Getafe, so I am happy with this win, and controlling the ball and the opponent well.”

Hansi Flick added in the press conference after the match, “Creating opportunities against a team like Getafe is not easy.”

He stressed, "Maintaining the motivation of all players is also important, because each position on the team includes several distinguished players, and this is the best thing for the team, and I admire that, because victories are achieved through collective effort and do not depend on one player or coach."

Flick went on to praise Englishman Anthony Gordon, who scored his first goal for Barcelona, ​​saying, "I am very happy with him, because he scored a goal, gained confidence with the England national team, and is performing well thanks to his speed and skills, creating opportunities, and putting pressure on competitors."

Regarding Gabriel Jesus, who scored the second goal against Getafe, the Barcelona coach continued, “He is different from Rafinha, but I am happy with his performance.”

The Catalan team's coach concluded his statements, "Preparing for the next match against Galatasaray in Turkey is the most important. We want to write history, but what is most important is the team's commitment," in response to Barca's quest to achieve the best start in its history in the league championship.
