Carlos Espi's late goal secured a 2-1 victory for Real Madrid as José Mourinho celebrated his La Liga return with a win over Espanyol.

Real Madrid edged out Espanyol 2-1 in José Mourinho's La Liga return. The Portuguese coach, who previously managed the Spanish giants from 2010 to 2013, saw his side overcome a first-half equalizer through a late winner.

Jude Bellingham opened the scoring before Alex Calatrava leveled for Espanyol, but Espi's decisive strike in the closing minutes ensured Mourinho's comeback started with three points. The former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager returned to Madrid in June after his previous stint ended a decade ago. rocore.sbs
