Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has spoken about the challenge faced by young striker Carlos Espi, playing as back-up to Kylian Mbappe this season. The Spain U-21 international was on target for Los Blancos in their 4-3 win over AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.
Mourinho spoke to reporters after the game on Wednesday, and was asked about the situation surrounding Espi this season. He admitted that it is not easy to play as back-up to Mbappe, but Espi’s performances continue to position him as an important option.
