Real Madrid Players Hold Inquest After Arsenal Defeat.
Following a humbling 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final first leg, Real Madrid players reportedly held an inquest in the dressing room. The loss, their third consecutive, has ignited concerns within the squad.
According to El Chiringuito, midfielder Federico Valverde initiated a frank discussion, questioning the team’s lack of response after Declan Rice’s free-kick goals. This sparked responses from key players including Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappe.
The sentiment amongst the players appears unified: Real Madrid must demonstrate their championship pedigree in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. A focus on early goals is perceived as crucial to mounting a successful comeback against a confident Arsenal side. The challenge now lies in translating this internal resolve into tangible results on the pitch.
