Although his team failed to create an advantage before the rematch at the Etihad, Real coach Carlo Ancelotti was satisfied.
Real Madrid and Manchester City played 1:1 in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
“Interesting match, difficult for us in the first half, but much better in the second half. We controlled the match, defensively we were good, Vini scored a nice goal. Ridiger did a good job with Haaland, the midfield controlled the ball and I can be satisfied. We have a strong motive to do a good job in the second leg”, said Ancelotti immediately after the match.
The return match will be played on Tuesday in Manchester.
