Peter Schmeichel was scathing of Real Madrid this week, suggesting Carlo Ancelotti's men had "no right’’ securing a spot in this season’s Champions League final. In a dramatic semi-final second leg, substitute Rodrygo scored two goals in two stoppage-time minutes to bring the game level at 5-5 on aggregate.
Karim Benzema slotted home the winner from the penalty spot in extra time after drawing a foul from Ruben Dias, and his side held on from there to secure the most unlikely of victories.
On CBS Sports post-match, Schmeichel didn’t hold back, labelling Madrid "the poorest team by a mile" over the two games. He said: "The first chance was the first goal in the 90th minute, the second goal was the second chance and the third goal was the third time they hit the target. Real Madrid have got no right to be in that final. They were the poorest team by a mile over the two games.
