Vinicius's goal from the 67th minute gave only fake hopes for “galactici”. Arsenal defended perfectly, and the final score was 1-2 (1-5 overall). For the British they scored Saka (65) and Martinelli (90+3). In the semifinals, “Tunarii” will meet PSG.
Lucas Vasquez, after removing Real Madrid from the Champions League: “I needed more patience”
“It's a difficult time. I tried, but it was a very difficult match. We expected to have more opportunities and to mark more. Finally, we could not do what we wanted from the beginning of the match.
We would have needed more clarity when I had possession. Patience was an element we lacked. They came here to defend themselves, it was normal.
I think that in the first half they did not play anything (no – Arsenal). In the second half, against the background of our weak game, they recovered and won. As a conclusion, we tried to return the score, “said Lucas Vasquez, according to defensacentral.com.
The Spanish press believes that the end of the speech represents the end of the adventure on Santiago Bernabeu.
Just like when we win, we are all responsible when we lose. It is part of the football, the fans of the real know that we always give everything, whether it works well or bad, we always give the best. We will come back stronger, Real Madrid will always come back! Thank you for everything
