Mourinho: opponents gift victories to "Barcelona" club © EuroFootball.com

The strategist of Madrid, Jose Mourinho, accuses the opponents of giving in to the club.

According to the Portuguese, in matches against the Spanish champions, often non-main players get the chance to shine.

As an example, he mentioned the team "Sporting Gijon", whose strategist Manuel Preciado allowed a few leaders to relax in the match against Barcelona, which the hosts won 1-0.

"If there are teams that gift victories to the Barcelona club, it will be much harder for us to win the national championship," said Mourinho.

"We already need to gather a lot of points, and the situation will be even more difficult if other teams allow playing with reserve lineups."
