In the final round of the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid surrendered to Benfica in Lisbon.
Benfica - Real Madrid 4:2 Video of goals and review of the Champions League match After the end of the game, Galacticos head coach Alvaro Arbeloa commented on the performance of the powerful team.
“We knew that against such a supernik we would fight as much as possible, it would be difficult. Alas, the shock still left us devastated. So much of what was rejected. We are far from the level on which we built our fortunes.
Arbitrator? Having benefited from the work of my team, for which I bear responsibility, I will not comment.
I don’t harm myself about my previous statements - these are the ones I believe in football. If the draft after the game is such that we lost, just because the attackers did not run, then I am absolutely not fit for it.
We were far from where we wanted to be, from the performance of our opponent, from the atmosphere of the stadium, from what was at stake.. We were unable to compete on the shortest level for 90 years.
We knew that we had to work hard, and we are aware that there is still a lot to earn. We must marvel in advance. To win matches like this, you need a lot of money to earn 90 coins.
This is not the first time that a goalkeeper of a super team scores against my team. The stinks are about to rise, we have lost nine graves, and we are also unlikely to score as many. They dared and prevailed.
I'm not happy with Benfica. I already said this yesterday: vimogi to the match of Mali buti above the temples at our side. I understand the jealousy of my super and my coach. I told the Gravians about it.
Alas, I couldn’t bear to worry about the graves of the people of the region. If the team does not play on this level, my credentials are forever. I couldn’t tell them to go to the match the way I wanted.
I bear responsibility for this defeat, as well as against Albacete. I feel more confident when things go wrong. But we weren’t knocked out of the Champions League today, we just had two more matches on our schedule. We will play two matches.
We were rejected a lot. What a lot. This was a Champions League match against a rival who was fighting for life in front of the home audience. The stench played with proper intensity and attacked well. There is definitely more than one reason for the defeat - we had to reject a lot of things in order to overcome Benfica today,” said the Spanish Fahive.
Real Madrid has received 15 points and placed ninth in the tournament table, so we are in the first round of the playoffs.
