Speaking to Disney+ after their 2-2 Champions League draw against Bayern Munich, Quesada defended his team's record, having been eliminated in the UWCL quarterfinals in the last two seasons. He claimed that if they hadn't faced Barcelona, they would have won more than one trophy already. The reality, he said, is that Barcelona impose a "brake" on Real Madrid's ability to win trophies.

Quesada also compared the situation to Paris Saint-Germain, suggesting that they too are undervalued due to the standard set by other teams in their league. He believes that Real Madrid need to be more demanding and reproduce their performances against City and Bayern every three days. The team's current draw against Bayern leaves them 10th in the UWCL table with three points.
