MADRID – Real Madrid again eliminated from the Copa del Rey event. Although managed to win 1-0 in the second leg on Wednesday (11/11/2009) in the morning, Los Galacticos failed to advanced to round of 16 goals due to the deficit.
Raul Gonzalez et al have to give up third division club headed Alcorcón fifth round of Spain’s annual tournament. Embarrassing 0-4 defeat in the previous leg two weeks ago proved too difficult to pass.
It is recognized solely by the entrenador, Manuel Pellegrini. “The most disappointing is the fact that we eliminated. Today we fail to reverse the four-goal deficit. When I got the best chance through Ruud van Nistelrooy, the ball hit the crossbar,” he said.
“The problem is the mistake we did in Alcorcón. Here, we bear great pressure. But I do not regret the lineup this time,” added the coach from Chile as reported by the U.S..
A title lost, Pellegrini directly shifting the focus to the La Liga and the Champions League. Former Villarreal architects optimistic, Madrid could still end the season with flying colors.
“We are a point adrift of Barcelona in La Liga and are in top Champions League group standings. All that ends well,” he concluded.
