Real Madrid was too good for Brest on Wednesday, but it was not enough to secure a place in the last 16 of the Champions League. Instead, the defending champion must play a play-off tie next month.
It was an impressive version of Real Madrid in France, and according to Diario As, Carlo Ancelotti was very happy with the display.
“It was a very good game. I saw a serious team that checked the game, played well and held a good block. We leave happily. We are more compact and effective. We played very well. We started well from behind, looking for space and depth with the attackers. We are at a good time and we have to continue. '
Rodrygo Goes was the striking artist for Real Madrid, because he scored two more goals to continue his impressive recent form. Ancelotti spoke glowing on the Brazilian superstar.
“He is very good, just like the others. I've always seen him well. There may be times when he is more or less doing well, but he always works well for the team. During this period he scored a lot, such as Bellingham or Mbappe. In the front there is a lot of quality and we benefit from it. “
Ancelotti also responded to the news that Real Madrid will be confronted with the play-offs opposite Manchester City of Celtic, with the match-up that must be determined during Friday's draw.
“We have to wait for the draw, when we play the city, it will of course be more complicated. We are happy, but it is a pity that it has not woke up in this game before … City will win the Champions League more often. It is a reality. We don't like to play against them. “
It is certainly a complicated run in the Champions League for Real Madrid, but as they proved last season, they are more than able to defeat the best teams in Europe in successive tires.
