The head coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, commented on the victory of his team in the match of the 1st round of the group stage of the Champions League against Celtic (3:0).
— I did not expect that Hazard would appear on the field. We had to release him because Benzema was injured. It was difficult for Eden to break into the main squad, but it was he who played a decisive role. Hazard made a great pass and scored the goal. I hope he continues in the same spirit.
The team played very well in the second half. I am really satisfied. To be honest, the second half was our solo concert. Celtic are a great team and we came into this game prepared because we had seen their past games. The atmosphere in the stadium was great, the fans supported their team, so it was not easy for Real Madrid, said Carlo Ancelotti.
