“Everyone said that the Spanish clubs are not at the same level as the English, but Villarreal and Madrid have given a boost in Europe”, the Italian coach congratulates
«The 0-2 was undeserved and the 0-3 has freed the team. We have played a bit with the bridles attached, like horses, but the 0-3 has freed us, the Bernabéu has started to push and the magic of the Bernabéu and of this club has come out again”, Carlo Ancelotti proudly proclaimed, for whom Real Madrid had to play an extra time against Chelsea “without deserving it”.
The Italian coach justified the dismal first half of his team in that, after 1-3 in the first leg in London, he was not obliged to go on the attack. “We weren’t hungry to go to score because we didn’t need it,” said who was convinced that “he was going to suffer, because Chelsea is a great team.” “In set pieces we suffered a lot because we lacked height, but once again we are in the semi-final,” Ancelotti congratulated. “We have to be proud of what we have done in a very tough round of 16 against PSG and also a very tough quarter-final against Chelsea,” he added.
The Italian coach also took the opportunity to vindicate Spanish football after his team and Villarreal qualified for the semifinals. “I am very happy for Villarreal, who together with Real Madrid have given a boost in Europe. Everyone said that the Spanish clubs are not at the same level as the English ones », he commented.
