Real Madrid failed to achieve positive results after defeating Barcelona 0-1 in the first leg of the 2022-2023 Copa Del Rey semifinals. Los Blancos’ mainstay midfielder – Real Madrid’s nickname, Luka Modric, revealed the cause of his team’s defeat to his eternal rival.
Yes, Real Madrid had to be content with being humiliated by Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain, on Friday (3/3/2023). Barcelona’s winning goal was scored by Eder Militao’s own suicide in the 26th minute.
In that match, Real Madrid actually managed to appear dominant throughout the match. However, Vinicius Jr cs failed to break into the strong back line of the Blaugrana -Barcelona’s nickname.
After the match, Luka Modric also admitted that Real Madrid played very well in that match. However, he said his colleagues failed to take advantage of the opportunities created.
“We have played well, we didn’t let Barcelona create chances, we created some chances but we weren’t successful up front,” said Luka Modric as quoted by Marca, Friday (3/3/2023).
Nevertheless, Modric is still optimistic that Real Madrid can qualify for the 2022-2023 Copa del Rey final. The Croatian passport player said that Los Blancos must be calm and confident in the second leg later.
“There is still one more game and we have to be calm and confident,” concluded Luka Modric.
As far as information, the second leg of the 2022-2023 Copa del Rey semi final between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be presented on Thursday (6/4/2023) in the morning WIB. It can be said that this match will be tight because it will be held at Barcelona’s headquarters, namely Camp Nou.
Even so, it is not impossible for Real Madrid to be able to make a comeback and ensure a place in the final. This will happen if Los Blancos are able to perform brilliantly in this match.
