Journalists walk out on mute Mourinho

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho’s decision not to speak to the media ahead of tomorrow’s ’El Clasico’ with Barcelona resulted in a walk-out by scores of journalists at the start of today’s press conference, which was held by assistant coach Aitor Karanka.

It was revealed earlier today that Karanka, as has happened on occasions this season, would speak to the media in place of Mourinho prior to the table-topping clash between the two Spanish superpowers at the Bernabeu.
