Carlo Ancelotti summarised the results of the season for Real Madrid.
In the final round of La Liga, Real Madrid drew with Athletic (1-1) and took second place in the standings.
It was previously reported that Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Mariano Díaz and Eden Hazard will leave the club at the end of the season.
About Benzema
“I trained one of the best footballers in the world. He is a wonderful person. He is kind, modest, and serious. We cannot feel joy about his departure, but we must respect his decision. He has earned the right to decide on his future career.
He did legendary things. It was a surprise. We have time to think about what to do next. I spoke to him this morning and he informed me that he had decided to leave the club. I expressed my respect for everything he has done.”
About Real Madrid’s transfer goals
“We have to do something when four attacking players leave the club. It is obvious There is still time to make arrangements.
We are looking for a striker with a good realisation. But matches are won not only thanks to the strikers. We have Vinícius and Rodrygo. They are young, but great players.”
About farewell to Benzema
“I do not think that we saw him away coldly. We will prepare a ceremony for him. It is necessary to take into account his character. It was a farewell worthy of a legend.”
About Asensio, Ceballos and Nacho
“They were very clear about their role, because we explained everything to them. Marco chose to leave the club. I think Dani and Nacho will stay.”
About Hazard and Mariano
“I could have made five substitutions. They did not ask me to let them enter the field, but I have to say that they both showed professionalism. They behaved exemplary until the last day.”
About what Real Madrid lacked this season
“We lacked stability in La Liga. Tchouaméni and Rüdiger strengthened the team. The World Cup has affected us. This season was good, and the next one will be even better,” Ancelotti said.
