The return semi-final match will take place in Madrid on May 8
Head coach Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti shared his expectations from the return match with Bavaria in the semi-finals Champions League 2023/24.
“We have to try to be on top. We are very happy because we have a great opportunity to reach the final again, given many difficulties. We are in good shape, very motivated and will try our best. I do not know what will happen tomorrow. “Anything can happen but we’re looking forward to another fantastic night.”
“This could be another magical night for our fans, but we are not overly optimistic, just aware of the difficulties we may face in the match. We need to play a tight game at a good pace, both in attack and defense. We could have done a lot more defensively in the first match. We want to make the match intense.”
“We also respect Bayern because in the first match they performed very well and were better than us. Both teams play very well in transition because we have quality and fast players. In that sense they are the two most dangerous teams in Europe, but if you have the right balance you can manage the risk well.”
The match between Real and Bayern will take place in Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium on Wednesday, May 8, at 22:00 Kyiv time. The match will be refereed by the Polish team led by Szymon Marciniak. Let us remind you that the first meeting in Munich brought the result 2:2.
