The reigning European champions were beaten 1-0 by Lille on Wednesday night, and it was also their first defeat in the competition since May 2023. Real Madrid had a poor performance, and Carlo Ancelotti made it known to the media during his post-match press conference (via Diario AS).
“It’s difficult to analyze this match. We were bad in every aspect. We didn’t create, possession was slow, there were no ideas. Our attackers need a more vertical game. This can be a problem when you are slow. »
The opportunity to bounce back?
“ It was a bad match. We have shown a bad image and we have bad feelings. » However, Ancelotti also sees the bright side of things. He believes this moment can serve as a reality check for his Real Madrid players, with the idea of starting a good run from there.
“The defeat against Atlético in January helped us change. I hope the same thing happens now. »
