Carlo Ancelotti did not hide his delight after Real Madrid sealed their place in the quarterfinals of the Champions League with a narrow victory over Liverpool. “We played the game we wanted to play. We were good, with a low block that made them difficult, good ball handling and being solid at the back,” he told Movistar.
“The team played well every minute, focused at the back, without risk. We were happy. I liked the team because on a psychological level these games are cheating. We had an advantage but we didn’t put our foot up “, indicated the Italian coach,
“Starting from behind has helped us to keep the game under control. Kroos and Modric manage very well, they are not nervous. Camavinga’s timing is very good. He’s at a high level and he’s taking advantage of it. He feels good with Kroos and Modric and they played a good game”, praised Ancelotti, who appreciated Madrid’s gesture of playing the Liverpool anthem after the game for Anfield’s tribute to the late Amancio.
“Liverpool is a club for gentlemen, they reminded us of Amancio and it has been a nice gesture,” said Ancelotti, who assured that he would rather face Milan, his former team, in the final than in the quarterfinals. “I love Milan very much and I prefer it in the final, not in the quarterfinals,” said Carletto.
