Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti commented on the team's exit from the Champions League after losing 5-1 on aggregate to Arsenal in the quarterfinals. Ancelotti told the Spanish network Movistar after the match, "We needed a turning point in the match, like the penalty kick that the referee awarded before canceling it."
Ancelotti: Arsenal deserved to beat Real Madrid in both legs
The Italian coach added, "Arsenal deserved to qualify, winning both home and away, but to be honest, we have to deal with this in the same way we had happy nights in the Champions League."
Carleto continued, "Now we'll turn our attention to fighting for the league title, and there's the El Clásico against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, as well as the Club World Cup after that. We have to manage the current situation. It's true that it's unusual for us, but we have to live with it."
The Real Madrid coach continued, "We have to hold our heads high and learn from the mistakes we made. Was this my last Champions League match with Real Madrid? This season, yes, unfortunately. We've had a great run in recent years. Let's see what happens next year, and no one knows. There's still time."
