Memories of 2009 brought to the news by Real, after its defeat by Milan

Manos Staramopoulos • 6 de noviembre de 2024

In May 2009, the Merengues suffered a heavy defeat at home to the Blaugrana (2-6) and the following matchday they could not raise their heads, losing to Mallorca again at home (1-3).

Real Madrid fell to Milan and is experiencing a crisis in its journey in this UEFA Champions League

Real Madrid, the holder of the Champions League (2024) this year, seems to be struggling. Something that was pointed out a few days ago by its Italian coach, Carlo Ancelotti himself, who is called upon to find the solutions and immediately, otherwise his team will be forced to play play-off matches in order to be present in the continuation of Europe's top competition , if not of the world.


On the evening of October 5, Real Madrid saw an amazing Milan "fly" into the packed "Santiago Bernabeu" and force the home team to "bow down" before them. The team of the Portuguese, Paulo Fonseca prevailed with 1-3.


Something that brought to the memory of the fans but above all the administration itself, in 2009. Where at that time Real Madrid had started its course badly again, but in the Spanish league. To be precise, in May 2009, the Merengues suffered a heavy defeat at home to the Blaugrana (2-6) and the following matchday they could not raise their heads, losing to Mallorca again at home (1-3).



So now that the Merengues experienced a new defeat this year with 3-1 against the "red devils" their problems were visible, while... they were stuck in the middle (17th place) of the general classification of the Champions League. Although the most resounding "bell" was not so much the result but the image shown by the European champions, with Carlo Ancelotti admitting the ... descent his team has taken in recent weeks.


Among other things, this defeat was a second consecutive "slap" for the Madrid fans in their "home", as it followed the defeat that Real suffered in the Clasico against Barcelona with 4-0. Thus turning back time 15 years, to the last time until today that Real experienced two consecutive defeats at the "Bernabeu" conceding at least three goals per match.


Vásquez


Meanwhile, how serious is the problem that now exists in Real Madrid, can also be seen from the statements made by Lucas Vasquez, who after the new defeat by Milan, emphasized that just as the offensive tasks, so the defensive ones, are and for the eleven footballers, and not just for some. In other words, it left a tip for some first-class footballers who are also paid exorbitant sums.


Lucas Vazquez, who has assumed the duties of captain after the serious injury of Dani Carvajal, while also covering the right-back position, said characteristically:


"We apologize to our fans. The image we have shown in the last two games is not the one we want to show. When you concede so many goals it's hard to win games. Like the attack, the defense is also for the team's eleven. Titles are won by teams, not units."
