“The moments where they think we're dead…” – The Real Madrid star explains the key to the secret of the Champions League

One of the headlines in the Spanish capital on Wednesday morning was that Bayern Munich had suffered from the “Real Madrid law”. Referring to their strange habit of lashing out at opponents in the Champions League when everything seems to be going against them, it is a law that most are familiar with, and a Rodrygo goes tried to explain after the game.

Carlo Ancelotti admitted his Real Madrid they were not at their best after the match, and Rodrygo said Brand that he shared this opinion.

“I know we didn't show our best version, but in the end we didn't lose, which was very important. Now it's time to play at home.”

“It's true, we always think like this, if we can't win we don't want to lose. I think today's match was perfect with everything that happened, we started well, then we conceded two goals, but we equalized at the end, now everything is to play in our house”

Los Blancos' habit of turning things around depends on their perception of games, Rodrygo revealed.

“These are Champions League games, we're used to them, in these moments when they think we're dead… that's when we're more focused and we always think that something could happen. Then Vini's goal came and then we conceded the two goals because we slept a little.

However, he was at a loss to explain Toni Kroos and his assist for Vinicius Junior's opening goal.

“I really don't have words. I can't explain it… I just know that I like to play with Toni and he is a genius. May he continue like this for many years with us.

Real Madrid will be strong favorites to go through against Bayern next week at the Bernabeu, where they have not lost all season, and have not lost at home since April 8, 2023, a 3-2 loss in Villarreal. Only twice have they been beaten all season, both against Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano.
