Blancos manager is pleased with the performance of his players
Real Madrid head coach Carlo Anchelotti commented on the outcome of the first match of the semi-finals Champions League With Manchester city (1:1).
“We have good impressions. We fought, we fought. Maybe they even deserved to win here.”
“Sometimes it’s hard to win, even if you deserve it. But we played well, I’m happy. We were focused on controlling the space between the lines, trying to prevent De Bruyne and Gundogan from using the free zones. Kroos and Modric did a very good job with this task.
“We played well after conceding the goal and created some dangerous chances. It will definitely give us confidence for the return game.”
Madrid opened the scoring in the match, Vinicius Junior accurately struck from a distance. Manchester City bounced back from the break thanks to a long-range strike from Kevin De Bruyne.
The second leg between Manchester City and Real Madrid will take place on 17 May. The game starts at 22:00 Kyiv time.
