Real Madrid has the advantage in their Champions League play-off round draw against Manchester City, after he won 3-2 in the Etihad Stadium in the first stage of Tuesday evening. It means that a draw in the return of next week in the Santiago Bernabeu would be sufficient for a last 16 place to be protected.
It was a very tough match for Real Madrid, who had to come twice from behind before he scored the winning goal in the stopping time. According to Diario, head coach Carlo Ancelotti was very satisfied and proud of the performance produced by his side in Manchester.
“We feel calm and happy. We did well in the first half of this draw. We have taken a small advantage. We have to continue in the second stage. The competition went well. I think it was a complete game in all aspects. Everyone has worked. We have had many opportunities. We did not give up when we were on the back. It was a very complete game.
“I think the victory is deserved. They benefited with the fine, but our front four were very effective. They could have been a bit more successful, but they have generated a lot with mobility and quality. “
Ancelotti also looked ahead to the second stage of next week in the Bernabeu, and although his Real Madrid side will defend a one goal on the homepras, he does not expect that the match is too uneven than Tuesday's meeting.
“I don't think much will change. It will be a complete game. It should be noted that we defended well with a compact block. When we have put pressure on each other again, they have created problems for us. '
Ancelotti was also asked about the banner that supporters of Man City Pre-Match showed, which was used as a method for Troll Vinicius Junior.
“I don't know if he saw it. Looking at his game, it might have been a motivation for him. He has always been very dangerous. '
