Real Madrid are an absolute embarrassment! Why only Bayern Munich have any reason to feel aggrieved

Real Madrid's Less Appealing Side Exposed

Real Madrid’s defeat to Bayern Munich has laid bare the club’s less appealing side. The Merengues have reacted like spoilt children, venting frustration at every turn.

Frustration Boils Over

Their insistence that they were “robbed” in Munich only confirms their status as football’s most unsympathetic outfit, even though it was the record champions who had genuine gripes for long periods of the contest.

• Real Madrid lost 3-4 (3-2) to Bayern Munich
• The match was a Champions League clash
• Bay Munich passed to the semi-finals of Europe’s premier competition

The defeat was a bitter one for Real Madrid, with their hopes of a comeback extinguished in the dying seconds.

Disappointment and Frustration

In the dying seconds of their Champions League clash with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid’s hopes of a comeback were finally extinguished. Michael Olise, after one of his trademark moments of brilliance, cut inside towards the corner flag in the final minute of stoppage time—met by a sea of Bavarian ecstasy at their passage to the semi-finals of Europe’s premier competition—yet there was little time or space for resignation among the Blancos at what proved to be a bitter 3–4 (3–2) defeat at Munich’s Allianz Arena.
