Real Madrid suffered their first defeat in the Champions League after losing to Lille 1-0 on Wednesday evening.

The Royal Club appeared lackluster in the first half, with their attempts failing to reach the goal, while Lille players remained calm in their ball handling. This situation continued until extra time.As a result, Lille secured their first three points in the tournament, while Real Madrid’s points total remains at three from their victory over Stuttgart in the first round.

According to information revealed by the Spanish newspaper el Nacional, the tunnel leading to the locker rooms witnessed an intense scene, as Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe expressed his frustration towards two players, eduardo Camavinga and Arda Güler, holding them responsible for the loss.Mbappe pointed to Camavinga as the cause of the penalty kick that led to the only goal of the match, criticizing him for acting carelessly by placing his hand in front of the ball.

Güler faced criticism for missing a clear scoring opportunity in the last seconds, failing to direct the ball accurately, which allowed the goalkeeper to easily make the save.This reaction reflects the tension following the defeat and underscores the importance of upcoming matches in the team’s campaign.

The newspaper noted that Luka Modric intervened to calm the atmosphere between Mbappe and the players, emphasizing that there are many matches left in which the team can recover: “The journey is still long.”

Having just recovered from injury, Mbappe could only enter the field in the second half and could not help Real Madrid escape defeat in their away match against Lille, in the second round of the Champions League early morning of October 3 (Vietnam time).

In the first 20 minutes of the match, Real Madrid still dominated the game. They created some notable opportunities from breakthroughs by Vinicius or endrick – who replaced Mbappe in the center forward position.

But from the middle of the first half, Real Madrid’s defense showed signs of loosening up. They were continuously warned by shots from David and Andre from Lille. Both goalkeeper Lunin and the crossbar had to save the visitors.

At the end of the first half, Real Madrid conceded a goal after a very unfortunate handball by Camavinga, when Lille was awarded a free kick right outside the penalty area.

The French midfielder did not line up in the wall but stood in a vulnerable position in front of Lunin’s goal. He was startled when the opponent kicked the ball towards him and raised his hand to block the ball. After consulting VAR, the referee decided to award the home team a penalty. And David did not miss the opportunity to open the scoring in the 44th minute.

The Canadian striker had more chances to double his team’s lead as Real Madrid poured forward in the second half. The visitors defended poorly and only luck saved them from conceding a second goal.

In the 57th minute, Mbappe was brought on to replace endrick . But the French superstar was completely overwhelmed by the home team’s tight defense.

Mbappe had just 17 touches in 38 minutes on the pitch. He didn’t even manage a shot .

The one who gives Real Madrid the most hope is still Vinicius. The Brazilian striker constantly causes trouble and creates many scoring opportunities for his team. But all of them, including himself, have missed.

The most regrettable situation was in the 87th minute, when Vinicius rushed in to kick the ball back after Rudiger’s header. The goal was almost empty but he still kicked the ball into the sky.

Real Madrid tried but failed, and in the end, they accepted a 0-1 defeat. Overall, the defending champions played a weak match and deserved to lose. Mbappe himself also had his worst match since joining the Spanish royal team.

This defeat left Real Madrid with only 3 points after 2 matches, ranking 17th in the 36-team ranking in the Champions League group stage this season.
