Real Madrid’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti remains convinced that his party has what is needed to return against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League, because the quarterfinal accessories will move to Santiago Bernaba, Madrid. After Ancelotti suffered a 3-0 defeat in the first stage of Emirates, it insisted that everything was still playing when both teams meet again on April 17th.
The targets from Declan Rice – who scored the orthosis – and Mikel Merino left Los Blancos impressed in London. However, ACLOTTI pointed out the long -term tradition of Real Madrid at a press conference after the match, how to produce dramatic turnover in Bernab, suggesting that others are far from impossible against Arsenal.
“We have to do everything we can to try and recover. Football.
“It’s a hard loss. We didn’t expect it. The team looked pretty good and well organized in the first half. After two goals, the team dropped mentally and physically. It was a difficult end to the game because we didn’t see the reaction we used to see from this team,” he added.
Madrid’s defensive weaknesses were at full performances when the shooters easily used gaps. In the rear line, representing similarities to Antonio Rugiger, Raul Assenio and David Alaba, he lacked peace, which turned out to be expensive. Meanwhile, it seemed that the attacking trio Vinicius JR, Kylian Mbapp and Rodrygo seemed discontinued and could not find a rhythm or consistently threatened. These are the problems that Ancelotti will try to solve in front of the key second leg.
The defeat contributes only to the increasing pressure of Real Madrid, after a recent loss for Valencia in Lalis-result, which further deepened their hopes for catching the toppers of FC Barcelona.
With the return leg against Arsenal on April 17, the reflector will again fall to the ability of Anelotti to inspire his side under pressure. Bernaba witnessed some of the most famous comebacks in the history of the Champions League and Madrid fans will hope for the next chapter in this legacy. Whether Anecelotti can stabilize the ship and script another fairy tale.
