54 h. ago Reality bites as Madrid’s Champions League remontada turns to dust

Carlo Ancelotti’s pleas went unanswered with his side’s limp exit a damning indictment of collective failings this seasonJude Bellingham saw the videos, listened to the stories and heard the word remontada “a million times”, but it was easier said than done. “There is no magic,” Carlo Ancelotti warned. In the end there was nothing really, just another glimpse of reality, the true story of their season: a chronicle of a death foretold. No epic, no comeback, not even much mystique, and certainly not much football. This time, Real Madrid could not escape themselves.“This is the other side of football,” Ancelotti said after the match. “There’s a happy part, which we have experienced many times, and a sad part which is today.

Semi-final: Atlético Madrid 0-1 Barcelona (agg 4-5)Barça v Real Madrid final for first time since 2014A decade later, the Copa del Rey will have a clásico final. First Barcelona played, then they resisted and in the end it was enough to see them through. A wild first leg, 4-4 at Montjuic, gave way to a tense and ultimately tight second in which a single Ferran Torres goal scored in the first half won it. Seville awaits Hansi Flick’s side, two teams still chasing a treble set to meet again, a third and final trophy denied to Atlético.In the five weeks since the first leg of this semi-final, a superb season slipped away from Diego Simeone’s side.
