Carlo Ancelotti could not be satisfied with the performance of his team. Manchester City managed to win against Real Madrid (4:0) and secure the Champions League final. Real Madrid looked unrecognizable, and at the press conference after the match, Carlo Ancelotti spoke about the defeat and gave an explanation; "They played better and deserved to win.
They put a lot of pressure on us from the beginning, and it worked well for them because it made it difficult for us to play out from the back, and they took the lead. From then on, it was difficult to get back into the game.
We tried in the second half... but it didn’t work out."
- Ancelotti said, as quoted by as.com Reporters were also interested in what was Real Madrid's main problem and where they made the biggest mistake. The Italian expert believes that it is too late to talk about that and that City was simply the better team."Assessing the game now doesn’t make sense. It’s a painful defeat, it really hurts. But it can happen. You play against strong opponents in the Champions League semi-finals, they play better than you and you’re out.
That’s it. But we’ll learn from it and be better for next season’s Champions League”.
Carlo Ancelotti congratulates Pep Guardiola
Ancelotti decided to congratulate Pep Guardiola after the victory. "I congratulated him because his team played better than us.
Last year, we were able to beat them... and this year it was their turn. That’s what happens in sport. Sometimes you can lose”. Real Madrid must make some changes if they want to be competitive in the coming seasons.
"Obviously, the game plan needs to change. We didn’t do what was planned. There’s no need to make a drama out of it. This squad performed very well last year and this year. We weren’t able to reach another final. This squad has done well, and they will do even better next season."
