Chronicle. Madrid falls to Shakhtar and is to cry
Reactions.Zidane: "I am responsible"
Statistics don't lie.
It helps to understand situations.
Support conclusions or deny arguments.
But he never lies.
And the numbers ensure that the
Champions League
seems to have lost faith in
Real Madrid
.
Since
Gareth Bale
reprove with that majestic Chilean the final of the
Champions
of
2018
, the white set is
not getting off on your competition 'fetish'.
In fact, at home they beat
Roma
(3-0) and
Plzen
(2-1) in the 2018-2019 debut, but then fell to
CSKA
(0-3) and in the round of 16 to
Ajax
(1-4).
Following the inertia, he repeated a disastrous debut against Bruges (2-2) in 19-20, followed by a comfortable victory (6-0) against
Galatasaray
, before receiving PSG (2-2) and
Manchester City
in eighths (1-2).
In short, and after the catastrophe against Shakhtar, Madrid
He has only managed to win one match of the last seven he has played at home.
The squad and the coaching staff hide in a
cloud of doubts
and bad results that, together with a
group of death
as they have rarely faced, presage major tremors in Valdebebas.
Madrid will visit
Mönchengladbach next
week after
Borussia's draw in Milan
, against Inter who managed to draw a miracle draw in 1990. Last year,
Madrid's initial defeat in Paris
against PSG and 2-2 at home against Bruges they were solved with two
comfortable wins against Galatasaray
.
This season there is no such comfortable rival and the spotless Madrid club brand, 28 group stages passed in 28 attempts, does not sound so easy this year.
Not after the loss to Shakhtar.
The Ukrainians took from Alfredo di Stéfano the
worst 45 minutes in white history in the Champions League
.
He had never been so defeated at halftime (0-3),
he had never lost in the twelve home premieres
in the continental competition.
The goals of Modric and Vinicius made up the result although not the image, and in the statistics, that one that does not lie, it appears that
the team that raises the 'orejona' never loses its first match of the competition.
Now, six days until the visit to Germany, after passing through Barcelona, and then face
Inter twice
, first in Spain and then in Italy.
A calendar without pause in which Zidane's men will have to see what happens in the rest of the fields sideways.
Marcelo and Militao, singled out
If there is a player whose numbers do not help, that is
Marcelo Vieira
.
The Brazilian side has been present in the last hits of Madrid and has been pointed out as one of those responsible for the bad moment of the team.
Since Zidane took over the team for the second time, Madrid have lost
nine games with the full-back in the eleven
(27 in total), while without him (28) they have never been defeated.
Along with him, his compatriot
Militao
reappears as one of the usual suspects.
The carioca
was in Paris 3-0
(Varane injury) and
Manchester 2-1 against City
(Ramos sanction) last season.
Madrid's most important defeats so far.
It was also
from Villamarín's 2-1
game
prior to the Covid break (again Varane's annoyances), where Zidane's men fell with a crash and sowed doubts before closing LaLiga in the summer.
