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.”
