Mourinho talks Bellingham, Diomande, Huijsen, Mbappe, Vinicius after Real Madrid 4-0 Malaga

Jose Mourinho said he was pleased with how Real Madrid handled player roles after the side extended their perfect 2026/27 start by beating Malaga 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu. Jude Bellingham opened the scoring, an Alfonso Herrero own goal doubled the lead, and Kylian Mbappé scored his fourth of the season to make it 3-0 before Arda Güler added a fourth in stoppage time. Mourinho dismissed questions about officiating, saying it “doesn’t deserve a comment.” He praised Bellingham’s “freedom,” noting the club reorganized his responsibilities so he felt comfortable. Mourinho also highlighted midfielder depth—Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde and Bernardo Silva—and singled out Dean Huijsen’s defensive qualities.
