Ancelotti: “If we play like we did tonight in Manchester, we will qualify”

by

Statements after the sensational 3-3 between Real Madrid and Manchester City were made by the coach of the “queen”, Carlo Ancelotticharacterizing the encounter held at the “Bernabeu” as a real battle and expressing the belief that if the team performs accordingly in the second leg, it will be the one that will celebrate the coveted qualification.

What the Real Madrid coach said in detail:



“It was a balanced game, with both teams fighting to their limits. It was a real battle. We pressed a lot and tried to take advantage of our ability to make quick counter-attacks. They scored very early, we reacted well and played brilliantly for 60 minutes, but City scored two beautiful goals. I don’t think conceding the first goal so early affected us. Obviously we wanted to go into the second leg with an advantage, but we’re happy with a lot of things we did tonight. If we play this well in Manchester, we will qualify”.

On choosing to put Rodrigo on the left wing of his attack: “I think we took City by surprise with that move. Our second goal came from a perfect move and an amazing partnership between Vinicius and Rodrigo. When the two are combined they create many phases”.
