“We’ve played some very tough rounds of 16, some very tough quarterfinals and some very tough semifinals against three candidates to be champion. It’s not yet a success because the last step is missing,” Carletto said.
“The game was equal, competitive, when it seemed to be over we found the last strength to match it,” he said of the last rush to force extra time. “When we put ourselves first in the tie we already gained an important psychological advantage, it happened to me against Liverpool in the final that I lost,” Ancelotti explained.
In the first part we did well, we lacked success between the lines, we didn’t enjoy Karim in the last third part. We played eighth futos, very difficult quarters, against three candidates to win the competition. It is not yet a success because the last step is missing, “he said.
