Carlos Henrique Casemiro, Brazilian midfielder for Real Madrid, spoke after the elimination of his team in the semifinals of the Champions League against Chelsea (2-0, 3-1 on aggregate), pondering the difficulty of lifting a Champions League, something that they did it on three consecutive occasions, making “history.”
“Today shows that what we did was history because it is not easy to win the ‘Champions’. The ‘Champions’ is this; today it was shown that it is not easy, “he said after the meeting at Movistar +.
A Casemiro who congratulated Chelsea for the pass and for the game shown in the tie: “In the first 25 minutes we played better, with two chances from Karim -Benzema-. After, there is no explanation. They were better, they played better; there are no excuses. There is no going back, ”he declared.
“Now we have to think about La Liga because Sevilla will be our turn on Sunday and it will be very difficult. We are all very sad because it was an incredible opportunity to reach the final, but Chelsea were superior to us and we must congratulate them ”, he continued.
Finally, the Brazilian regretted that after a season in which they have had up to 58 absences, between injuries and positives in coronavirus, they have not been able to reach a ‘Champions’ final.
“Madrid have to think about the next game. We are sad, we regret the game because it was important to us after a year with so many injuries, sacrifice, casualties due to coronavirus, no crowd … but we have tried, “he said. EFE (HN)
