"Real" Madrid team and Cristiano Ronaldo - in crisis: in the UEFA Champions League group stage, they were defeated by London's "Tottenham" team with a score of 1-3, and for the first time since 2012, they lost in this stage of the tournament.
"Spurs" overwhelmed their opponents and were leading 3-0 at one point in the match, but towards the end of the game, the "whites" did not give up and it was C. Ronaldo who scored the only goal for the visitors.
For the "Real" team, this was the second consecutive loss in the last four days. They also suffered a defeat in the "La Liga" championship to the modest "Girona" club. Despite the failure in the CL tournament, "Real" is still happy with fairly good results, but in Spain, they are already eight points behind the leaders.
However, one of the team's leaders and captains, C. Ronaldo, does not see this situation as a tragedy and claims that "Real" will bounce back, as we have in recent seasons.
"We are in a bad phase, but I have no doubt that we will dig ourselves out of this situation," Ronaldo said. - We understand that we are not in the best phase of the season, but it should be acknowledged that we are not playing as badly as the recent results show."
"I really don't think we are in a crisis situation. People should not forget what we have achieved up to this season. Football consists of victories, and people are already talking about a crisis when just two months ago we won two titles and became Champions League winners twice."
"I don't understand why danger bells are ringing now. Let's wait for the end of the season, and then we will see who wins the titles. Of course, it is not easy for us, as experienced players like Pepe, James, and Morata left us in the summer.
Many young footballers have joined the team, who will surely be great in the future, but they still need time. Of course, we would like Bale and Carvajal to be injury-free, but that is not an excuse.
Perhaps the current team is less experienced than last season, but we cannot blame anyone for that. I am happy with every player on this team and I am sure that together with them, we will experience many positive things this season," concluded the veteran of the "Real" team.
