José Mourinho's team beat the newly promoted 0-3 in a duel to count for the eleventh day of the Spanish championship, with the result to be built in the first part.

Still unable to count on the Brazilian international Vinícius Júnior due to the punishment after the expulsion against Villarreal, the Portuguese technician went to Stadium El Sardinero to confirm favoritism, with the help of the usual suspects.

At 11 minutes of the match, the class of the capital of Spain got a big penalty something controversial, conquered by Kylian Mbappé, after an arm had made him fall into the large area of Racing Santander.
