Real Madrid legend Guti sits in silence on TV show after Champions League knockout
That’s a gutted Guti! Real Madrid legend bizarrely spends the first THREE minutes of a Spanish TV show sitting desperately on camera after Manchester City’s landslide victory in the Champions League semi-final
Real Madrid legend Guti couldn’t hide his desperation after his former club crashed out of the Champions League following their semi-final defeat to Manchester City.
Madrid, the holy trophy holders jug-eared to their knockout in the last four, were sent off clinically by Pep Guardiola’s side at the Etihad last night.
Bernardo Silva’s first-half brace had left the visitors with a mountain to climb before Manuel Akanji headed home a set piece and Julian Alvarez scored in stoppage time.
As a result, Carlo Ancelotti’s heavyweights were subjected to a crushing 5–1 loss over both legs, despite their first-leg draw at the Bernabeu.
And in the emphatic fashion of the setback, Guti exposed his frustration live on TV.

During the first three minutes of the enigmatic sports show ‘El Chiringuito’, Guti was filmed sitting on the panel in stony silence, his face etched in visible dismay.
Hilariously, the shot kept changing, lighting Guti from multiple angles as photos of disheveled Madrid players appeared on the big screen.
Dramatic music played in the background as he gathered his thoughts.
Ultimately, the former midfielder, who represented Los Blancos at senior level for 15 seasons, began red-faced over Madrid’s poor performance.
Did Real Madrid play football at all? What plan did the coach have?’ he said.
‘It only turned out that they urgently needed reinforcements in the summer and immediately. This team is read and too old. Something will have to be done, some players will have to be thanked. No, I don’t understand it.
What was the coach thinking? Was he waiting for the miracle of Vinicius? What’s the plan B? It clearly isn’t there.
Ancelotti and all the players were desperate. The only one that doesn’t deserve criticism is [Thibaut] Courtois. Everyone else should clear their heads.’

Earlier, Guti lashed out at City and was criticized for Jack Grealish.
“The coaches have changed roles, now Ancelotti is the coolest and Guardiola is the defensive one,” he said in the same show after the first leg.
‘Manchester City has less offensively. They used to have two full backs coming from behind at lightning speed and now they don’t. They use Bernardo Silva, who is not a winger, and they lose a player there.
“City has Jack Grealish, who doesn’t dribble past anyone. In the Premier League he might outsmart everyone, but I haven’t seen him in the Champions League yet.’
After booking a spot in Istanbul, City will take on Inter Milan on June 10.
