It is clear that Carlo Ancelotti’s team is in crisis, but only a few expected Arsenal to literally sweep them off the field, especially in the second half of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. We have witnessed all sorts of crazy comebacks that Real Madrid have made in previous seasons. However, if we look at what they are currently looking like, then Carlo Ancelotti will need a magic wand to overcome the three-goal deficit.Arsenal full of heavy loaded Gunn(er)s tilted King’s crown!One of those who was extremely disappointed with Los Blancos’ performance at Emirates on Tuesday night is Jose Maria Gutierrez Guti. Three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, who made an incredible 387 appearances for the club between 1995 and 2010, was gutted after the game.”Real Madrid never controlled the game at any point. Ancelotti said that this team always reacts, but that wasn’t the case against Arsenal. What I can see is that the team is falling physically and struggling in the second half,” Guti said.Bend it like DeclanHe criticised those main culprits, the team’s biggest stars.”The best players have to be at the level when it comes to the most important games of the season. Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham are the ones, but none of them showed up, where were they?! If you are the best, then you need to show it. If you score five goals in every game, then you can afford not to run, if you don’t do that, then you have to run as much as everyone else.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8842568##Finally, Guti had a few words about Ancelotti, too…”Carlo has great players, but they are not playing well at the moment. You have guys on the bench who you need to trust. For example, Endrick played great in the Copa del Rey, and he didn’t clock a single minute against Arsenal,” concluded Guti.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – QUARTER-FINALSFirst legTuesdayArsenal – Real Madrid 3-0 (0-0)/Rice 58, 70, Merino 75/Bayern – Inter 1-2 (0-1)/Muller 85 – Lautaro 38, Frattesi 88/Wednesday 22.00: (1.37) Barcelona (5.10) Dortmund (7.75)22.00: (1.42) PSG (5.00) Aston Villa (7.00)***odds are subject to change***
