Cristiano Ronaldo has said Saturday was a day to forget after Real Madrid lost 4-0 to Atletico de Madrid.
Every Madridista’s nightmares came true at the Vicente Calderon as Thiago, Saul, Antoine Griezmann and Mario Mandzukic gave the hosts an emphatic win. Los Blancos only had one shot on target all game.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Ronaldo, who was back in the side after completing a two-game ban, said: “We played very badly. From back to front. Nothing worked out. A day to forget as soon as possible. Madrid cannot lose 4-0 against any team in the world. But I see positive things in defeats – this must serve as a lesson for the future. We are still leaders, but we know we will have to fight until the end. The gaps are small. We must think positively.
“This is a crappy day because the dressing room is annoyed, but we must think positively because we are still top.”
Prior to the Christmas break, Los Blancos won 22 games in a row, setting a new record for consecutive wins. Since returning to action they have been in poor form, having been defeated in the Copa del Rey and losing to Atletico and Valencia in La Liga.
Asked why Real have been playing so poorly, Ronaldo said the team isn’t fresh. He commented: “The team is not fresh, not physically nor mentally, in my opinion. There is no need to see that as an excuse. The error is already made, and we must lift up our heads. There is no need to feel sorry for ourselves, as there’s still a long way to go in La Liga. We are still first.”
No Sir Ronaldo, this day cannot be forgotten. This should remind us the humiliation the fans have been subjected to. This is a day that will go to the club’s record.
