Real Madrid 'Keeper Iker Casillas Dismayed By Champions League Exit
Elimination is hard to digest for los Merengues...
By Paul Madden
Casillas also stated that thinking about the final, which takes place in May at the Santiago Bernabeu, makes the elimination harder to bear for his side.
"It's hard to digest because it is a competition where we have high hopes, especially for those of us who have been here for a long time. It's a new blow for Real Madrid, but we must recover," he declared, as quoted by AS.
"Thinking about the final weighs on our shoulders even more. We must shoulder our share of the blame, but we must be calm because what is said in the heat of the moment may be misinterpreted. We all have a lot of anger and in the dressing room we are all riled up."
