According to COPE, there is significant anger within Real Madrid following what happened on Wednesday night.

The frustration is not directed at the defeat itself, nor at the fact the team must now go through the Champions League playoffs. Instead, the board are once again unhappy with the image the team displayed on the pitch.

Real Madrid were beaten 4-2 by Benfica in the Champions League, a result that cost them direct qualification for the round of 16. Beyond the scoreline, the performance raised serious internal concerns, with decision-makers feeling the team lacked control, authority, and composure at key moments.

This is not the first time this season that the board have reacted strongly to how the team has represented the club in Europe. The recurring issues have only increased unease behind the scenes.

As a result, scrutiny of both the squad and the coaching staff is expected to intensify ahead of the knockout phase.
