Real Madrid once again signed up for the epic. He did it against Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16, also in the first leg of the quarterfinals with a great game against Chelsea in London and sublimated it against the English in the return leg at the Santiago Bernabéu losing 2-3, but achieving the passage to the semi-finals of the Champions League in extra time thanks to goals from Rodrygo and Karim Benzema, assisted by Luka Modric and Vinicius.
The match drove the Santiago Bernabéu fans crazy once again in the continental competition and From El Sanhedrin of Cadena SER they tried to shed light on the Whites’ comeback from Chelsea’s own comeback.
The one who spoke knowingly from the closest was Pedja Mijatovic. The hero of the Seventh tried to explain what happened in the white coliseum. “Real Madrid is a competitive team that knows how to suffer and overcome the impossible. Before you asked me for a small analysis, but it cannot be done. I would love for someone to explain this kind of thing to me. Until the 80th minute they were suffering, 0-3, with Carvajal as central defender… but in the end you lift that (…) It’s tremendous, there is no explanation,” said the former striker.
This urged to live a special night and enjoy their fans. “You have to enjoy those moments, because you don’t know if one day they will do the same again. There have been moments in the tie when I suffered a lot. I had no idea where the comeback could come from. Ancelotti, although he was late, was right with the changes. The players who have entered have done very well. The team has believed that it could and in the end it has achieved it”, he sentenced.
Thomas Roncero, editor-in-chief of the Real Madrid section in Diario AS also contributed his analysis of the match. For him, Rodrygo’s goal was a savior and the comeback itself goes beyond any sporting logic. “Rodrygo’s goal was assisted breathing. Given this, there is no footballing logic or blackboards. I prefer Atlético, because a Spanish semi-final and having Villarreal also qualified… But if it is City, the Bernabéu will want to beat Guardiola in Europe. Today, everyone who has seen it knows why they will pay a ticket again, however expensive it may be,” he said.
Manu Carreño, director of El Larguero, recalled the most talked about signing in years and that seems closer every day. This ensured that this new comeback are more arguments for Kylian Mbappé to reach Real Madrid. “But how could Mbappé not want to come?” he added.
For Julio Pulido, Real Madrid’s football was “very bad” and he assured that they will need something more than epic to be in the final. “This is not the path: Real Madrid’s path cannot be one of permanent feat. If we analyze the match, Real Madrid’s match today is very bad”, he stated.
Another more critical of the Real Madrid match was Sique Rodríguez. The journalist from Ser Cataluña tweeted highlighting the lack of need for Real Madrid to play well in order to winr. “The key to Real Madrid is that their fans don’t demand that they play well. It’s enough with the epic. That makes it easier for them to survive games as bad as the one they played today. You add several arbitration aids and good luck and ready. Let’s celebrate it, “he assured on social networks.
