On Tuesday evening, Real Madrid was unexpectedly thrashed 0-3 by Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, a result that also surprised their coach, Carlo Ancelotti.
Details: The head coach of the Spanish side admitted that his team’s performance was subpar. Typically, Real Madrid manages to step up their game towards the end of matches, but that was not the case at the Emirates.
Quote: “Usually, this team raises its game in the final stages, but tonight it was disappointing and poor. We need to be self-critical and do everything we can next week to recover.
The chances of reaching the semifinals are slim, but we must give our all. We need to do everything possible; it’s an opportunity to show a response to a bad performance,” Ancelotti said, as reported by Reuters.
