Jose Mourinho joked Real Madrid have a "happy dressing room, with horrible music" as he reminded his players that winning is an expectation at the club.

Madrid beat 10-man Valencia 3-0 on Saturday to move level on points with LaLiga leaders Barcelona.

Federico Valverde, Arda Guler and Kylian Mbappe were on target for Los Blancos, who have won their last eight games in all competitions, since a loss to rivals Atletico Madrid on September 20.

And while Mourinho is delighted with Madrid's form and squad unity, he says his team are aware of the lofty expectations at Madrid.

"What makes me happy is that we've never had chaos; we've always been calm," Mourinho said.

"We understand the reasons why we lost [against Atlético] and where we could improve.

"I will always fight to ensure that in good times, people stay balanced. I always tell them that winning matches in a team like Real Madrid shouldn't lead to crazy joy. Winning matches at Real Madrid has to be normal.

"I see a happy dressing room, with horrible, loud music.

"When we lose, we enter your chaos, which can then spread to the Madridista environment, to the fans. But in here, we're calm."

Mourinho is now on 97 wins in charge of Madrid in LaLiga, across his two spells in charge.

Only three other coaches in Madrid's history have hit a century of wins in the top flight.

Mourinho has overseen 126 LaLiga games, meaning his 77% win ratio is the best of any coach to have taken charge of 100+ games in the competition.

Madrid face Celta Vigo after the international break, and Mourinho conceded it is always worrying when his players head off for duty with their countries.

"It worries me, because if the players stayed with me and my staff we would give very special attention to recovering them," he said. "But they go to their national teams.

"I have never coached a national side, but you can imagine that their coaches want to work, and these people can't work now. They need to rest. They need a lot of attention in their recovery."
