Tomás Roncero's Most Devastating Speech Leaves Atlético and Barça Fans Speechless

Atlético de Madrid's Elimination at the Hands of Real Madrid has caused a lot of impact. The penalty shootout held at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano has sparked all kinds of comments and analyses like the one made by Tomás Roncero just minutes after that match.

The journalist from the newspaper As arrived at 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' visibly happy after the tough clash at Atlético de Madrid's stadium. "I understand my friends from Atleti", the panelist began. "It must be very complicated that decades go by, that you count that we've faced each other in six bouts and haven't won a single one, that we always end up knocking them down on the canvas".

Tomás Roncero points out that Real Madrid's victory occurred "playing poorly, in the first half disappeared, missing a penalty" as Vinícius did in the 70th minute. He also left a striking remark regarding Thibaut Courtois, one of the most outstanding players of the white team in the Metropolitano match: "it was only missing, if you want our goalkeeper...".

"To whom you've thrown stuffed rats, he's going to say you won't score on him". With a wink included, Tomás Roncero once again sentenced Atlético de Madrid: "karma. You threw lighters, you threw rats, today he saves them just to respond".

He Completely Redeemed Himself

He recalls the goalkeeper's words after the Fourteenth: "when you're on the right side of history, you know you're not going to make a mistake", Tomás Roncero points out. "When the penalty shootout arrives, they knew it. They're going to do it again, only Madrid can come and say 'let Rüdiger take the fifth'".

The German center-back hit that ball  "with his bandages, half limping and takes the penalty again and takes the fifth. Because Madrid's badge makes him know he won't miss it", the Madridist panelist notes. "There's no curse here, there's a historical demand to know that whether we play well or poorly, we're going to do it again", confesses Tomás Roncero.

There are also words for those who "buried Ancelotti", who "is in the quarterfinals, this guy". Tomás Roncero makes it clear: "we're not to blame for belonging to the greatest badge in soccer history, the most exemplary badge, and don't look for excuses". The refereeing controversy accompanies, despite Tomás Roncero, another victory for Real Madrid.

"Madrid, in their worst soccer match, has knocked them down on the canvas again. In your face, in your home", Tomás Roncero sentenced after Real Madrid's victory. The panelist also wondered "what more do we have to do" after having defeated the red-and-white team "in all modalities" in the Champions League.
