He said, "I'll be honest, I would have been happier if Real Madrid had soundly defeated Arsenal and the manager's job had been secured.

"It's normal in football that if a club like Real Madrid loses 3-0 in the quarterfinals against Arsenal, the rumours go wild.

"It's normal and understandable, and that's why I would have liked to avoid these rumors with a Real Madrid victory."
