Real Madrid had a new difficult game in the 2024-25 season, eliminated from the Champions League by Arsenal on Wednesday. The Premier League team won 2-1 in the quarter-final return, ensuring a cumulative victory of 5-1.
We hoped that Real Madrid could go back to the Champions League, but it was not possible. According to Diario As, Carlo Ancelotti, disappointed, spoke with Movistar to analyze the match and the meeting as a whole.
Ancelotti does not know if he has a future in Real Madrid
“Let's be honest: in the two games, Arsenal deserved its place in the semi-finals. Football has two facets: the happy side, which has often happened to us, and the sad side, which we have to manage in the same way. It happened to us less often than other teams, but we have to manage it, because it will allow us to be better in the next games. »»
“To change the dynamics, we needed something positive, like the penalty he whistled and then removed. We needed something to gain confidence, but we failed to change the dynamics of the first leg. The meeting was played in the first leg. »»
Ancelotti has also chosen to be positive for the rest of the season, which sees Real Madrid competing two competitions, as well as the Club World Cup, which will take place this summer.
“We are now in the race for La Liga. We are disadvantaged, but we have the match against Barcelona, the King Cup final, the Club World Cup, and we have to manage this part of football, which is another aspect to which we are not used to. But it exists. It's time to keep your head high and learn from our mistakes. »»
