Mourinho’s comeback changes the contest for Barcelona, says Deco

Barcelona sporting director Deco says Jose Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid has made his club’s task more difficult in La Liga.

The Portuguese manager took charge of Real Madrid before the start of the current season, returning to the club after a 13-year absence.

Barcelona currently lead the La Liga table with 21 points from seven matches. Real Madrid have collected 15 points and sit fourth.
