There were long faces and tension in the Real Madrid dressing room following Real Madrid’s 3-2 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday night. Club president Florentino Pérez saw it first hand, when he stopped to watch the players after their second loss in a row.
It is normal for Pérez to visit the dressing room after a game, but this time his visit was much shorter. As such, he was only there for three minutes as this was not a night for casual conversations.
Perhaps it was positive for Real Madrid that there were no fans present, since such a defeat against a full Santiago Bernabéu Stadium could have increased the tension even more. Instead, they were in a nearly empty Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium when they fell to defeat due to a lousy performance in the first half.
They also lost there to Cádiz on Saturday and Real Madrid managers cannot understand how another similar defeat came about so soon. The blame is shared by the players and Zinedine Zidane, who admitted that he has work to do at his post-match press conference.
This is followed by two difficult away games, as Real Madrid will face Barcelona in El Clásico on Saturday and then Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany on Tuesday on the next day of this already difficult group of Champions for Los Blancos.
However, Real Madrid has already overcome crises like these. Last season the Champions League started with a point from the first two games and that October international break also followed with a defeat in LaLiga Santander, this time at Real Mallorca. They managed to stay alive in Europe and went on to win the Spanish Super Cup and the LaLiga Santander title. They will aim to turn things around this season in similar ways.
