Real Madrid was too good for Brest on Wednesday, but it was not enough to ensure a place in the last 16 of the Champions League. On the other hand, the defending champions must play a draw at the Play-Off next month.
It was a dominant performance of Real Madrid in France, and according to Diario as, Carlo Ancelotti was very happy with the screen.
“It was a very good game. I saw a serious team, who controlled the game, played well and maintained a good block. We leave happy. We are more compact and effective. We play very well. We start well from behind, looking for space and depth with the strikers. We are in a good time and we have to continue. “
Rodrygo Goes was the outstanding interpreter of Real Madrid, since he scored two more goals to continue his impressive form. Ancelotti spoke brilliantly in the Brazilian superstar.
“It’s very good, like others. I’ve always seen it well. There may be times when I do it well or less, but always work well for the team. In this period he has noted a lot, such as Bellingham or Mbappe. In the front there is a lot of quality and we are taking advantage of it. ”
Ancelotti also reacted to the news that Real Madrid will face Manchester City or Celtic in the play-offs, and the confrontation will be determined during the Friday raffle.
“We have to wait for the draw, if we play in the city, it will be more complicated, of course. We are happy, but it is a shame not to have woken up before in this competition … the city is more likely to win the Champions League. It is a reality. We don’t like playing against them. “
Surely it will be a complicated race in the Champions League for Real Madrid, but as they demonstrated last season, they are more than able to overcome the best teams in Europe in consecutive ties.
