Jos\u00e9 Mourinho has caused a stir with a provocative statement about the Bundesliga<\/a>. The new\u2014or rather, returning\u2014coach of Real Madrid highlighted the competitiveness of the Spanish league, pointing out the one-sided nature of the German and French leagues. As far as the Portuguese coach is concerned, FC Bayern<\/a> has already clinched the German championship.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ahead of the away game against Real Betis, Mourinho was asked about the high level of parity in LaLiga<\/a>. For the Portuguese coach, one thing is clear: In Spain, there is a level of pressure that doesn\u2019t exist in this form in all of Europe\u2019s top leagues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis league won\u2019t be easy for anyone,\u201d Mourinho explained. That wouldn\u2019t change even \u201cif a game produces a result that gives the impression it was easy\u2014like, for example, our 4\u20130 win over M\u00e1laga or Barcelona\u2019s 5\u20130 win over Elche.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mourinho then made his point clear by drawing a comparison to the Bundesliga<\/a> and Ligue 1<\/a>. His remarks were aimed in particular at the two perennial national champions, FC Bayern<\/a> and Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201eBut there\u2019s a pressure that doesn\u2019t exist in other leagues: namely, the pressure to always have to win,\u201c Mourinho said. In his view, the situation is different in Germany and France.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe champions in France or Germany, for example, have the composure to say, \u2018We already know we\u2019re going to be champions.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201eThis pressure, week after week\u201c<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Mourinho therefore sees a crucial difference between the Bundesliga<\/a> and LaLiga<\/a>. While Bayern<\/a> and PSG are often considered clear favorites to win the title due to their dominance, Real Madrid regularly has to deal with maximum pressure in Spain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201eBut here, week after week, there\u2019s this pressure where anything less than a win isn\u2019t a good result. And that\u2019s that,\u201c the Portuguese coach emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For Mourinho, this constant competition is a crucial factor: \u201cAnd this pressure is of great significance for the teams that have to play in a league with this level of competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While the 63-year-old was highlighting the strength of the Spanish league, his remarks in Munich are likely to draw quite a bit of attention. After all, FC Bayern<\/a> remains the heavy favorite to win the German championship this season as well\u2014and it is precisely this role that Mourinho seems to view as a sign of a less balanced league.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meanwhile, with Real Madrid, Mourinho himself aims to ensure that the national title race in Spain becomes tighter again. The Royals have gotten off to a promising start to the new season and, after three wins, are tied on points with FC Barcelona at the top of the table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
