José Mourinho has changed Real Madrid's ways in terms of their solidity at the Santiago Bernabéu. Before the season, there were so many games where the team did not look all that good, even at home, even against smaller teams in the league. A win is never guaranteed, but it usually should be when you're at home and your team is much better than your opponents.
That logic sometimes did not work with Real Madrid. Even though Real Madrid still won quite a few of their games at home, they never looked secure enough consistently, which is why problems always came back upon them.
Jose Mourinho has turned Real Madrid into a more solid team in smaller games
This season, those things have changed, and it seems like José Mourinho has had a lot to do about the same. Ever since he has joined Real Madrid, they have won every single match they've played at home, and that too, most of them have been in convincing fashion: from 4-1 wins over Red Bull Leipzig and Sevilla to grindfests against Villarreal and Inter.
Somehow, Real Madrid have managed to find a way to win all of their games at home. Even the ones away from home, which used to be quite difficult for Real Madrid to win against tough teams, have now proven to be easier under Mourinho. In fact, Mourinho has won his last 17 games at the Bernabéu across La Liga and the Champions League, according to AS, and that alone is an incredible statistic.
It shows that the winning spirit that Mourinho had at Real Madrid in his first stint is being brought back by the Portuguese manager in his second, and it is very good to see. These things are obviously very important for morale and so many other things, but the main things are consistency and continuity.
If Real Madrid keep building on these wins, they will get to a point where they are confident enough to beat every team in the league at home and away. That is what Barcelona are currently doing, and even after the loss against Real Madrid, they're still three points clear at the top of the table. It is because they have found a way to beat most of the teams in the league.
If Real Madrid are able to find that continuity, they can keep challenging for the league title on a regular basis. Somehow, that has not been done, and hopefully Mourinho is able to change that for the foreseeable future.
