– The repercussions of the heavy defeat that Real Madrid received at the hands of Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, which ended with the victory of the artillery 3-0, and the royal hopes reduced the return.
This harsh loss prompted coach Carlo Ancelotti to make a firm decision to punish his players, as he canceled their scheduled vacation, and ordered them to return to the Sports City, Dibibas to focus on preparations for the Deportivo Alaves match in the Spanish League.
Press sources indicated that Ancelotti held meetings with his players the next day of the defeat, stressing the need to focus on teamwork and defense better.
This decision, which was a strict motivation, aims to ensure the restoration of the team’s balance before the second leg against Arsenal, which will determine the fate of the team in the European Championship this season.
