It is not common to see Real Madrid with only two victories in the Champions League classification. “The truth is no, but we already know that in the Champions League they are difficult games,” justified the white captain, Luka Modric. After the defeats against Lille, Milan and Liverpool, the Croatian is clear that the recipe only involves raising the level. “There are three games left and we have to improve.”
Carlo Ancelotti did not hide the network’s superiority. “Liverpool deserved to win. The result is fair but we already knew that we were coming to the most complicated field in Europe.” “We have lost against a better team,” Courtois supported him.
According to Modric, everything went wrong definitively with the missed penalty by Mbappé that would have been 1-1. “The first half was good and then we had the penalty that could have changed the game. But after his second goal it was no longer possible,” he reflected.
“Unfortunately we missed the penalty we had to tie the game,” Courtois lamented about the Frenchman’s shot. “We were not able to materialize the opportunity we had,” analyzed Ceballos.
However, Ancelotti did not want to single out Mbappé individually. “Like the others, he has fought and competed. He missed the penalty but he has everyone’s support. It has to come out and it will come out soon from this moment. He is disappointed but he has to move forward,” the Italian coach defended him.
The veteran midfielder also gave a shout out in favor of the French striker, who only has one goal in the Champions League in white. “We see him well, training well and with confidence. Today he didn’t even get a penalty. Surely Kylian is going to do what is expected of him,” he predicted.
He wasn’t the only one. Ceballos revealed that he is working to turn his situation around. “We know what he is working on but things are not working out for him or scoring the goals he would like. It is not easy to reach a Madrid that has won everything but I am sure that it will contribute from now on.”
