José Mourinho, Real Madrid's manager, caught attention during the match against Villarreal for his constant protests against the referee's decisions, spending most of the game objecting to calls before receiving a yellow card that nearly turned red due to his continued protests.


Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that Mourinho directed his objections to the officiating crew, from the fourth official to the referee, and did not stop protesting even after receiving a yellow card, putting him at risk of being sent off.


Jose Mourinho's notable moments included his protests and a celebration for Vinícius Júnior's goal, which was later disallowed, before the Brazilian player was sent off, causing tension between the benches of both teams.


The events resulted in the dismissal of a member of Mourinho's coaching staff, along with an official from Villarreal. However, the most striking scene, according to Mundo Deportivo, was the Portuguese coach falling to the ground while attempting to protest to the referee again.
