Real Madrid eventually managed to come away with a result from the Etihad Stadium that “keeps the tie open” said Carlo Ancelotti
The Italian manager, who is attempting to reach the Champions League final for a record sixth time, talked to BT Sport after the game and discussed a tense encounter. Manchester City forced a two-goal gap on Real Madrid three times, but a Karim Benzema penalty at the finish put the semi-final in doubt.
The magic of the Bernabeu, which Ancelotti has used twice previously in the tournament to defeat PSG and then Chelsea, may play a role once again. Aside from that, he applauded his players’ mental toughness, particularly Karim Benzema, who took his penalty like Panenka after missing two penalties in their previous encounter against Osasuna.
