Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti summed up the results of the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Arsenal (1-2). I don’t think it’s worth it today. We have to accept fate and the blows it inflicts. We mustn’t give up, because in recent years we’ve performed very well in this competition. This year, we have to endure and endure. That can happen in sport, because there are no invincible teams. I made that clear to my players. We mustn’t give up, but study and fight in the next matches. Now, there are three competitions, and we have to focus on LA League, the Cup final, and the Club World Cup. The team gave it its all and was as focused as possible. We didn’t succeed. Compared to last year, we’re lacking a bit of collective spirit. I don’t know if this will be my last Champions League match. Maybe the club will decide to change something. It could happen this year or next year when my contract expires. The day I finish here, I can only do one thing: thank this club. It could happen tomorrow, 10 days later, or a year later, and the only thing I’ll do is thank the club. I don’t care if I leave the team this year or next year.
The fact that someone believes I’m the only one to blame won’t change my thoughts in the coming days. I’m only thinking about how to prepare for the next match to stay in the league fight and try to win the Kop del Re.
