Mourinho Real Madrid full-back hierarchy shift

Real Madrid's full-back hierarchy has flipped under Mourinho, and the numbers tell the story. Álvaro Carreras has started 6 of 13 matches this season. Trent Alexander-Arnold has started 4 of 13. Meanwhile the reported preference leans toward his summer signings, Marc Cucurella and Denzel Dumfries. New manager, new favorites, and the old first-choice pair are the ones paying for it. That is a real shift in the pecking order, not just rotation.
