Real Madrid suffered a tough home defeat, losing 1-2 to Bayern Munich. Goals from Harry Kane and Luis Díaz put Álvaro Arbeloa’s side on the ropes, though they managed to pull one back thanks to a strike from Kylian Mbappé. Despite a late push, the Bavarians take a golden advantage into the second leg in Germany.
Arbeloa: Between self-criticism and controversy
After the match, Arbeloa reflected on the excessive risks taken after conceding the second goal: "If we had conceded a third, it would have been a disaster. We have to act rationally." The coach also questioned the refereeing, calling for a possible red card after a foul on Mbappé and lamenting the booking for Tchouaméni.
Keeping the faith for Munich
Despite the unfavorable result, the Real Madrid coach remains optimistic about a comeback. "We will go to Munich with the aim of winning," he said, underlining the need to keep their nerve to stay alive in the European competition.
