Champions League. "Real" - "Bayern" - 2:1, after the match. Ancelotti: "It's difficult to explain. It's magic."

Yesterday, 8 May, Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in the Champions League semi-final return leg to reach the final. Here are the post-match comments of the coaches of the teams to the official UEFA website.

Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid head coach:"It has happened to us often. And it happened again. Fans who push us, a fantastic stadium, players who never stop believing ... It's just something magical. We didn't put our heads down in a difficult moment when we conceded.

Joselu is entirely reflective of what this team is about, how it thinks. He hasn't played much this season, but he's always been very useful in the right moment. He never loses confidence and always thinks about the team.

We had a difficult stretch after the Bayern goal, but once the substitutions went in, I could see that fresh legs and fresh blood helps. Maybe today was a bit easier than against Manchester City, because then we had to score two goals. But here, one goal was enough for extra time. As soon as we scored, I was absolutely sure that we would score again. And we did. It's hard to explain. It's magic. This tournament makes our players feel something special."

Thomas Tuchel, Bayern head coach:"It hurts. It will take time to recover. On the other hand, we left all of ourselves on the pitch. Of course, it's difficult to accept something like that. It's part of reality. No hard feelings and no regrets. On the other hand, there were too many injuries, too many substitutions, too many cramps. We started with an attacking back four and by the end all of it had left the pitch. And then Manu, who saved us brilliantly all evening, made a mistake he won't make for the next 100 years."
