Lucas Vasquez has aimed a dig at Arsenal saying ‘they did nothing’s in their 2-1 win at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
Carlo Ancelotti’s boys went into the second leg showpiece of her last eight Champions League hoping to overturn their 3-0 deficit in London. However, goals from both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in the 65th and 93rd minutes respectively dashed the hopes of the White Angels despite Vinicius Jr’s strike in the 67th minute.
In his assessment of the crunch battle in the Madrid capital, the 33-year-old winger threw jabs at the Gunners’ performance.
He said: “It’s a difficult moment. I think we tried today. It was a complicated match. We didn’t have all the chances we would have liked.”
“We didn’t lose sight of the goal. There were interruptions [but] it didn’t happen. Maybe we lacked more clarity. More patience.
“They came to defend, to play their role. In the first half, they did almost nothing. In the second, with the team pressing, they found the victory,” the Spanish footballer said after the match.
After the painful exit of the Spanish giants, they would shift their focus to LaLiga Santander where they trailed behind Barcelona with four points as they play host to Athletic Club on Sunday.
On the other hand, Mikel Arteta’s boys are fired up with their recent victory as they will be on the road to lock horns with Ipswich Town in the English Premier League on Sunday.
