Real Madrid visit Manchester City at the Etihad on Wednesday at 21:00 in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. The first match ended 1:1.
Ancelotti said that his team is motivated to go to the big final,
“We are close to doing something important like last season. We are very motivated. We know it will be complicated, but it helps us be at our best possible level. We are happy to be here, but for a club like Real. It is normal. Out of the last 13 seasons, 11 times we have been in the semi-finals of the Champions League. It’s not easy and we have to enjoy it,” said Ancelotti.
A message to the players? I want the team to read the game well. They must know that we will suffer in some parts, that is normal in a game like this. And when the opponent fights back, they have to fight back.”
We’re not just thinking about Haaland. There is also De Bruyne, Gundogan, Mahrez… It is difficult.
“Guardiola said he doesn’t know our secret? It is not so easy to explain. The Champions League is special for Real. From the first five titles until today. We can continue that story. We do not forget our history”, he concluded.
