Jose Mourinho has delivered a blunt message to national team coaches concerning the physical condition of Real Madrid players, describing them as facing "extreme fatigue" amid a congested fixture schedule. The comments come in the wake of Real Madrid's LaLiga match against Valencia CF on November 8, 2026, where the heavy workload on key squad members was evident. Mourinho emphasized the risk of overloading players who are simultaneously competing for club and country, urging international managers to consider the accumulated minutes when selecting their squads.
