“It was bad.” Ancelotti doesn't hold back criticism for Real after thrashing by Arsenal

On Tuesday evening, Real Madrid suffered an unexpected thrashing at the hands of Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, with a score of 0-3. For the “Los Blancos” coach Carlo Ancelotti, his team's performance was also a surprise.

Details: The head coach of the team from Spain's capital admitted that Real's play was poor, and usually, the players manage to get into the game towards the end, which didn't happen at the Emirates.

Quote: “Usually, this team raises its game at the end of matches. It was disappointing, it was bad. We have to be self-critical and do everything possible next week to recover.

The chances of reaching the semifinals are quite low, but we must give 100%. We have to do everything in our power; it's an opportunity to show a response to a poor game,” Ancelotti was quoted as saying by Reuters.

Reminder: In the match against Real, Arsenal's Declan Rice scored from a free-kick for the first time in his career.
