Sources close to the Real Madrid players say the players believe there was no tactical plan to defeat Arsenal and secure a comeback, reports Relevo.
The players' feeling is that Carlo Ancelotti and his staff only demanded "intensity and sacrifice" to overcome the opponent, without any systematic approach to beat a tough opponent.
Real Madrid started the game ever so poorly, managing zero shots on target in the first half while conceding a penalty.
All game, Real Madrid sent in aimless crosses into the box, which were easily dealt with by Arsenal defenders.
In the end, Real Madrid lost the game 2-1, on a night everyone expected them to put up a fight and perform a Remontada.
