THE Real Madrid took qualification for the Champions League quarter-finals more difficult than expected, staying at home 1-1 with Leipzig, in the rematch of the 1-0 advantage in the first match.
After the end of the match, Carlo Ancelotti, he stood on the bad image of his team, stressing however that he was never actually threatened with exclusion.
“The match was bad. We played poorly with little intensity. We played against an opponent who has quality and had nothing to lose. And we played with… brakes from the start. We suffered, but the important thing was to be in the quarter-finals. The idea was to push harder. And the reality is that we have played too late. We played at a low tempo, very slow. It wasn’t our best night. Sometimes it can happen in the Champions League. It happened against Chelsea at home in 2022. However, we were never close to elimination.”
He then also referred to the issue that has arisen in the last few hours surrounding his possible tax violations, with the Prosecutor of Spain requesting the his imprisonment for 4 years and 9 months!
“This is an issue from eight years ago. The prosecution thinks I was living there, but I wasn’t. I have already paid the fine. I’m innocent and I’m sure I don’t live there. The lawyers are trying to find a solution. I am sure that I am innocent. We’ll see what the judge decides.”
