Theo Hernandez names major reason for his Real Madrid failure

“I don’t know if they regret my departure in Madrid. I couldn’t do my best for Real Madrid, as I didn’t have the minutes,” Theo Hernandez said in an interview with Onda Cero.

“Without the minutes, you don’t have confidence. I arrived at a very young age, I have grown up now.”

Real Madrid spent €24m on the Frenchman's move from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2017.

After a single season at the Santiago Bernabeu, the left-back was loaned to Real Sociedad and then sold to AC Milan for €20m in 2019. The 23-year-old has established himself among Europe's best players in his position since then.
