LReal Madrid is in a bad position in the Champions League. Beaten by Liverpool 2-0 on Wednesday evening, the Merengues are currently in 24th place in the standings, the last qualifier for the play-offs. But that doesn’t mean we’re giving in to panic on Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
“We have to be among the first 24 and we will achieve it,” said the Italian technician. “We will fight for the title like we did last year. This match was not decisive because, even if we had won, it is very difficult to reach the top eight. »
Ancelotti also spoke at length about the case of Kylian Mbappé, singled out by the press for his disappointing performance and his missed penalty. “It often happened that the attackers had difficulty scoring,” he explains. “There is a cure, and that is to be patient. It’s a difficult moment for him, especially after missing the penalty. Everyone must support him. »
The Madrid club still has three matches in this league phase to get back on track: a trip to Atalanta, the reception at Salzburg before facing Brest in France. A rather affordable schedule where the injured animal will have to demonstrate that it should never be buried too quickly.
