José Mourinho warns of difficult upcoming match against AEK

Following Real Madrid's 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League League Phase, manager José Mourinho has cautioned his squad about their upcoming fixture in Greece. Despite the decisive win, which brought the team to nine points, Mourinho emphasized that they remain far from the approximately 20 points potentially required for direct qualification into the next stage.

Regarding the upcoming match against AEK in Nea Filadelfeia, Mourinho described the encounter as “extremely difficult,” citing the intense atmosphere and the strength of the Greek side. The victory over Leipzig featured goals from Bernardo Silva, Arda Güler, and Diomande, with Kylian Mbappé providing an assist for Güler.
