Pochettino: “It can’t be that something like this happens in 2022”
MAURICIO POCHETTINO on the situation before the 1-1: “It’s a shame! The first goal is a foul once morest Donnarumma. It is impossible not to talk regarding this fatal error. It can’t be that something like this will happen in 2022. Real’s first goal turned the game. I wonder what the VAR is doing because there has been a foul. If you look at the action, it’s a foul. After that, the game turned. We dominated for 60 minutes, the goal changed everything.”
…the reasons for the defeat: “It is not easy. We made mistakes. But the VAR made the clearest mistake. It’s a clear foul by Benzema on Donnarumma, which doesn’t get called and from that point on we know that emotions count in football. When the team concede the goal, the feeling of injustice causes misfortune. In those ten to fifteen minutes we were too open. Those are the things regarding football that can’t be explained. We were superior for more than 180 minutes and in the end it’s the small details that count.”
…the lack of response from the team: “Madrid had nothing to lose. After the 1-1 draw, they needed a goal to go into overtime. We mightn’t handle the influence. While that non-foul action doesn’t justify what happened next, it did have a big impact and was crucial.”

Leonardo: “We lost control”
LEONARDO: “It’s a heavy blow. We mustn’t throw everything overboard now. It’s difficult to analyze. The scene with the foul on Donnarumma was crucial, but we had a hard time digesting that moment. We’ve lost control. We had to look for a solution. It’s a shame that a referee’s decision is crucial in moments like this. But we should have kept calm. We have made mistakes, these things we must change, although we do not have to rethink everything. It’s difficult, but we saw an organized team up until half-time.”
