Troy Parrott, a 24-year-old striker, recently joined Real Betis from AZ Alkmaar and scored his first goal for the club in a 1-0 win over Real Madrid at home. Parrott came off the bench to score in the 81st minute, tapping home a corner after the initial header was saved by Thibaut Courtois.
Parrott's goal was a significant blow to Mourinho, who had given him his Premier League debut seven years ago when Parrott was just 17. Mourinho had high hopes for the young striker, but Parrott struggled to live up to expectations at Tottenham Hotspur. He eventually departed the club and went on to thrive in the Netherlands, finishing joint-third in the Eredivisie Golden Boot standings last season with 16 goals.
Mourinho's Real Madrid side was completely dominant in the match, creating numerous chances and racking up an xG of 3.16 with eight shots on target. However, they were unable to find the back of the net, and Parrott's goal proved to be the decisive blow.
