The Real Madrid season starts now, said Carlo Ancelotti after the comeback victory from his side in Manchester City.
Jude Bellingham yielded a final winner when Madrid completed the turn with a 3-2 victory in the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.
It means that Los Blancos will be the second stage of next week in the play-off of Champions League with a huge opportunity to reach the last 16.
Madrid is the top of Laliga after last week's 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid, and after this moral reinforcement result in the midst of an injury crisis, Ancelotti made the challenge for the rest of the campaign.
'The result is a trick result. You have won, it can cause you to lower yourself [guard]Believe you don't have to come back and we can't fall into that fall, “said the Italian Movistar Plus.
“You have to prepare well, as we did today, with the same focus, quality and sacrifice, just like tonight, what a great performance was.
“Now the season really starts and despite the difficulty we encountered in a very difficult place to visit, we were able to earn a very good result.”
Kylian Mbappe and Brahim Diaz have canceled a two -hull from the Erling Handand of the city before the Bellingham stop time hero.
Madrid registered 3.42 expected goals on the 1.6 of City, after he has created the better opportunities.
“I think it was a complete game in all aspects, outside my side,” said Ancelotti.
“Everyone worked hard. We had many opportunities. We didn't give up when we were behind. It was a well -rounded, impeccable execution. I think we deserved the victory.
“We defended well, with a compact block they took the lead with a penalty, but at the front our players were very effective. They could have been a little more accurate, but they generated many opportunities with mobility, teamwork and individual quality.”
City was unable to win in a Champions League match in which they led twice for the third time, and the first time ever at the Etihad Stadium. All three had been against Madrid.
Bellingham is now the first English player to score a Champions League goal against an English side for two different clubs, where the midfielder previously scored against City on Borussia Dortmund.
