There's been moments where we've looked at Real Madrid and we've analysed them in broader terms and wondered about the fit with him and Vinicius and so on.

But when you take a step back, the performance level of Kylian Mbappé has been so high.

There's one or two slight criticisms, I think, about the management of this injury, whether Real Madrid could have dealt with it quicker, whether he maybe could have stopped sooner.

But it's a massive, massive loss from their point of view.

Well, as Shaq was saying there, this statement, had it been the original one, we would deal with it differently.

We would think about it differently, had this been the original statement.

Because Mourinho is saying something very, very direct there.

He's saying, this player does not respect those values that we take seriously.

He doesn't play for us anymore.

Now, if that had come out straight away, I think we'd all be saying, well, that's the way to deal with it.

That's the way that Benfica as a club have to deal with it.

They have to say, these are our values.

These are the values we stand by.

When we get to the truth of this, if that's the case, then it ends.

Unfortunately, of course, that wasn't the nature of it.

And we've not yet had Mourinho... Because Mourinho could have come out and tried to... That thing he was saying about Vinicius' celebration, he had the opportunity to maybe say, look, I didn't mean that the celebration justifies racism.

But he never even got to that point.

He never even got to the point of saying, that's not what I meant.

And so, yeah, I think I agree with Jules and Shaq that it feels like Mourinho...

Mourinho doesn't really have a way back, I don't think.
