Thibaut Courtois reacted virulently to the elimination of Real Madrid on Wednesday, regretting the absence of an attacker born.
There was no miracle for Real Madrid. Eight days after the slap received on the lawn of the Emirates Stadium, the Merengues could never even believe in a comeback. Unable to be dangerous, the Madrilenians were even left for a new defeat (1-2).
At the forefront, Kylian Mbappé spent a particularly difficult evening. Weaned with balloons, the tricolor striker did not frame the shot and had to go out prematurely due to an injury. And it was not the post-match comments of Thibaut Courtois who were going to comfort him. On the contrary.
If he was careful not to quote the name of the tricolor world champion, the Belgian goalkeeper indeed seemed directly to point his finger at his responsibility in the premature elimination of the Madrid, regretting the absence of … Joselu, who left for Qatar last summer.
Kylian Mbappé by a “born striker”
“Arsenal is a team that defends well, which is well organized, which presses well and it is difficult to find space. We do a lot of centers, but this year, we don’t have Joselu, an attacker born ”, He thus entrusted to the microphone of Movistar Plus+ after the meeting.
Loaned by Espanyol Barcelona following the departure of Karim Benzema, the Spanish veteran had been precious for Madrid. If he had not panicked the counters, ending the season with 18 goals and 3 assists in 49 matches in all competitions, he had notably scored an express double in the last minutes of the semi-final return against Bayern Munich while Real was virtually eliminated.
