Terrible Image Offered by Real Madrid Stars refusing to give explanations for their poor performance in London. Edu Aguirre put the microphone in front of them to address the Madrid fans. But they brushed him off with monosyllables or, directly, ignored him with silence as a response.
In the hours prior, he had been optimistic and happy with the team's play throughout the season ("they don't need to make 15,000 passes to reach the area"). But Edu Aguirre made self-criticism and confessed that the situation doesn't allow him to think about comebacks.
This is how Edu Aguirre expressed himself on El Chiringuito:
"Madrid Was Giving Warnings"
"You can't flip a switch and go from zero to a hundred in one match. Madrid was giving warnings. The match against Leganés, Real Sociedad, and Valencia at the Bernabéu...
Today we saw a team that wanted to make history, that was hungry, that it was the match of their lives. And they devoured Real Madrid.
We saw another team, Real Madrid, that seemed like they were playing just another match. Another Champions League quarter-final, just another Champions League match.
They go to training, everything is very nice, it's our DNA, our competition. But that has to be shown.
Today Madrid was almost embarrassing, they lost all the duels. Ancelotti can be criticized. He's the easy target.
He could have taken all three off at once. But OK, it's Ancelotti's fault.
"Maybe It's Good for Madrid to Lose All Titles"
The players? Do they have hunger, have they shown grit? Have they shown pride knowing it's the Champions League?
I want to believe in the comeback, but right now I can't, although on Wednesday I'll be sure that Real Madrid will come back.
Maybe it's good for Madrid to lose all titles this year so that next year they start with renewed energy. With a thirst for revenge, because it seems like they've won everything. They need to feel the pressure to start playing, pressing, and feeling like a compact unit.
Arsenal has won all the duels, it can't be that there's such a huge difference. The best thing today is the result.
"I See It Impossible, Not Even with the Bernabéu's Epic"
That Madrid cleared two off the line. That Courtois saved three. That the match was a historical debacle.
You can lose against Arsenal, which is a good team, because Madrid isn't going to win always.
But today the players need to be pointed out, those who have given us so much, of course. Always in the heart.
But if they're walking, they should be told. And today Madrid was walking, chasing shadows. Bad, running out of time.
I'm very frustrated and I can't think about the comeback. I see it impossible, not even with the Bernabéu's epic".
