“Hunger of Champions”, “Queen of Europe in the Natural Place”

Real Madrid is receiving quite a bit of criticism during the season, just before the big revolution planned for the summer. However, it must not be forgotten that the team ran strong on the two main fronts – in the Spanish league and the Champions League. Last night (Tuesday) the Whites advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 1: 3 win over Atlanta that completed a double victory over the Italians.

The quarter-final draw will take place on Friday and after that Real will know if they meet one of the continent’s lions and can test their strength or maybe get Porto, a strong team but it will be a meeting where the Blancos will be favorites to reach the semifinals and possibly the first final since winning 2018.

In the Spanish media, engines are already warming up for the sequel. In the “Marca” Sergio Ramos was placed on the goal and it was written “The hunger of the champions / of the champions”. It was also written: “Real advanced to the quarterfinals with a solid performance. Sportillo’s error opened the door for Zidane’s boys. “Goals by Benzema, Ramos (Pendel) and Asensio left no chance for Atlanta.” The newspaper’s website reads: “The Queen of Europe has returned to her natural place.”

The “S” also went for an image from the culinary field. On the front page of the newspaper, Ramos and Lucas and Essex are seen making a drink-drinking motion after the cover and it is written in a pun: “A drink of champions / of the champions”. It was also written: “Madrid advanced to the quarterfinals with an authoritative performance thanks to goals from Benzema, Ramos and Asensio. Great performances for Modric and Vinicius, who almost scored one of the greatest goals of all time. “

“Championship and Champions? Not impossible ”

Coach Zindin Zidane Complimented Modric and Vinicius: “If you ask me about Luca, a 35-year-old player, you don’t see it on the pitch. He and Cross gave a good “Double Pivot” performance. I’m happy for Vinicius to have the penalty kicked. He makes it difficult to defend with his speed. It is very important”.

The French coach was asked about the possibility of winning the championship and the Champions League: “It is not impossible. We should enjoy it. “When you prepare the players well, you have to be satisfied.”
