The Madrid club unexpectedly lost in France and ended their amazing unbeaten run.
Real unexpectedly lost in the away match in the second round of the Champions League, narrowly losing to Lille – 0:1.
For the Madrid team, this is the first defeat since January 18, when they lost to Atlético Madrid (2:4) in the 1/8 finals of the Copa del Rey.
Thus, Real’s unbeaten streak in all competitions lasted 36 matches.
In this game, Andrei Lunin defended Real Madrid’s goal for the first time this season. He missed the only goal from the penalty spot.
The Ukrainian believes that nothing bad happened, so the team should continue, but Lille Madrid should have won.
“It’s difficult to analyze, I don’t know if we lack aggressiveness, creativity, fight… In the second half we improved our game, but of course, we always want to win, we understand what colors we are defending, but it’s okay – we have to keep working.
The first half was bad, we have to analyze what happened and improve the game in the next match. No time, many battles – and you have to win.
Personally, I’m glad to be back on the field, I supported Thibaut Courtois, but now we have to win. We didn’t achieve it, so I can’t be satisfied,” Marca told Lunin.
We remind you that Juventus snatched victory from Leipzig in the Champions League in an exciting match.
