Tomás Roncer was not angry at the end of the game. He told Carrusel Deportivo: "We have to sign Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold. All for free."
The anger was huge. All week long they had been asking Mbappé to surpass himself in the absence of Vinícius. Then nothing, he was unnoticed.
The truth is that the European champion, this team, was better last year without Mbappé. Right now they are in 24th place, the last place that gives access to the play-offs, one place ahead of PSG.
Modric to the Rescue of Mbappé
This is not what the Real Madrid fans expected from the reigning European champion, now reinforced by Mbappé. They didn't expect that, by the fifth round, the team would have more defeats than victories and would be at the bottom of the ranking.
All eyes were on Mbappé and captain Modric came to the rescue:
"We see him well, training well, with confidence. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Today it didn't work, especially regarding the penalty.
"But we are confident and we are sure that Kylian will do what is expected of him," he said to Movistar microphones.
Ancelotti Did Like Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti also appeared before Movistar microphones to give his analysis of the match:
"It was a difficult match but we knew it. I think this is the most difficult stadium in Europe right now.
"They have good dynamics. We were in the game until the penalty and then we dropped our level.
"In the first half we defended well, we could've taken advantage counterattacks more. But... I liked the team, I think we competed well, against the most difficult rival in Europe.
"The result was the right one because they deserved to win but we competed. We have to qualify, we are going to qualify and compete in the Champions League like last year."
"Mbappé Hasn't Been very Successful"
"This is the way forward. We cannot think in any other way because we are starting to become a team again and make sacrifices. We have to recover players.
"Lucas returned today. Rodrygo will return. Tchouaméni... that is another issue. Regarding the injuries, we have to try to recover the players."
"Mbappé, like the others, has fought, has competed, be he wasn't successful. He missed the penalty and it will be a difficult moment. Still, he has the everyone's support.
"Missing a penalty in a game like that, the player is a little disappointed, but he has to look forward."
