The mythology of the comebacks that Madrid built four decades The team had to make the first shot, the first foul, the first protest and, of course, the first goal to the greatest speed. About to start the game, to the kids who withdrew the canvas of the Champions League pulled the stands, which bramed the “yes you can.” However, the daring retired, the Mass began and the King was naked. The still European champion needed almost an hour to force David Raya’s first stop: a shooting of Vinicius. Curtois had already been three, including a maximum penalty. The only thing that Madrid arrived first went to a goal in the offside of Mbappé and the penalty arrested by the Belgian to Saka in minute ten. Nor for those. The night confirmed the collective bankruptcy of a raised team around the most famous front in the world. The result was familic: three auctions to the goal of Madrid, for the six of the Arsenal. Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo and Bellingham added zero shots between the three sticks. Only Vinicius, with two and author of the only goal, rebelled in the middle of the desert, with more thrust than lucidity. The stripe card closed with that harmless attempt by Vini and another in the 90s of Brahim with retired staff. A stunic production that portrayed Madrid. Nothing cleaned reached the strikers and just anything they sought themselves. “You have to accept the sticks that arrive,” Carlo Ancelotti reacted, exposed to a wide battery of questions about their future. “I do not know, it may happen that the club decides to change (coach) this year, the one that comes … There is no problem. The day I finish here, I will only thank this club. It can be tomorrow, in ten days, in a month, in a year … If my contract ends or does not give me exactly the same,” emphasized the Italian, which in December 2023 extended its link with the entity until 2026. It is “focusing the team on what remains.” Madrid fell very short of football and Courtois left its self -criticism. “Sometimes you have to make more team plays and not all individual. If you double the marking to Vini or Kylian, a two against one sometimes leaves, but not three, four or five times,” the goal analyzed, which lamented the large number of centers of the team. “But this year we do not have a Joselu that wins many duels,” he said. On the lawn, as in the first leg, the first explanations did not arrive from any glittering star, but from Lucas Vázquez, who recognized the “lack of clarity.” The Arsenal, the least thrashed team of the Premier (27 in 32 days), had not received more than two goals in the 48 previous matches of its season. His passage through the Bernabéu did not move a hair. His eleven holder had played three times less Champions games than Madrid (211-716), but his daily mechanisms were sufficient for not blinking. After half an hour of inflammation, the animation stands arose an “Éch him eggs” that, at that point, meant everything in the stadium. In the past, that was the song that was used in the Bernabéu to mock the Atlético, whose fan always resorted to this cry in its worst times. The rest of the stands dismissed the rest to theirs with some beeps, the same ones that were heard when Mbappé withdrew sore in the final stretch. (Tagstotranslate) Soccer
