Tuesday, the Champions League had some major surprises in store! In addition to Manchester City’s unexpected defeat, Real Madrid also stumbled. The Madrilenians lost 1-3 against AC Milan.
Times are tough for Real Madrid. The results no longer lived up to expectations, and Thibaut Courtois’ injuries didn’t help matters.
After a heavy 0-4 defeat against FC Barcelona, their last league match against Valencia was canceled due to bad weather. And to drive the point home, a new defeat in the Champions League, 1-3, temporarily relegates them to 17th place in the rankings.
We have to worry
Carlo Ancelotti does not hide his concern: “We have to worry. It’s normal, I think. Today we didn’t show our best version.”
“As a team, we are not compact enough,” he said in a press conference after the match, quotes the Newspaper.
For Ancelotti, the priority is clear: regain the order and resilience that characterized Real Madrid. “We will work hard to change that. Opponents create danger in our area too easily. We need to regain the solidity we have had for so long,” he concluded.
