Real Madrid lost the second leg of the Champions League with a score of 1-2 and exited the tournament, losing 1-5 on aggregate. One of the politicians made a very sharp comment about Madrid's defeat.

Details: The mayor of the city of Ourense, Gonzalo Pérez Jácome, posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating that Real has no understanding of either football or athletics. He also explained his position.

Quote: "If Real Madrid thought that by signing many black players, they would gain a physical advantage in matches, it means they have no idea about football or athletics," Jácome wrote.

⚽ Que el @realmadrid haya pensado que, por el hecho de fichar a muchos jugadores negros, marcaría la diferencia física en los partidos, es no tener ni idea de fútbol ni de atletismo
— Gonzalo Pérez Jácome -Alcalde de Ourense- (@gonzalojacome) April 16, 2025

After the match, Real's goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois noted that perhaps they should have relied less on crosses and played more cohesively as a team.

Reminder: Real Madrid failed to reach the semifinals of the Champions League for the first time since the 2019/20 season.
