Real Madrid is on the brink of an unprecedented sword in the Champions League.
The “Kings”, who have won the tournament a record 13 times, are on the brink of relegation in the groups for the first time in their rich history. Last night’s 0-2 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk put Zinedine Zidane’s team in a very delicate situation.
Round before the end Madrid occupies the 3rd place with 7 points. The Ukrainians have the same number, but they beat Real in both direct matches. The leader is Borussia Mönchengladbach with 8 points, Inter has 5 points.
Therefore, all four teams have a chance to qualify for the round of 16. And if Real do not beat the Germans at home next week, for the first time they will not play in the knockout phase. In that case, Zidane will surely be fired.
“We have no choice but to win the last game. And we will,” Tony Kroos said. “It’s hard to swallow this Shakhtar loss. We took the lead early against Inter and this game was in a similar way. We may not have been good enough, but I think we made a strong first half. When they scored our first goal, everything it started to get worse. At 0: 2, we no longer believed that we could change things. However, we fought to the end, “added the German.
In addition, for the first time the “Kings” allowed 9 goals in their first 5 matches in the tournament. They came from Inter (3: 2), Gladbach (2: 2) in both losses to Shakhtar (0: 2, 2: 3).
