The head coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, spoke about today’s game against Manchester City in the Champions League playoffs.
— It feels like a “clasico” — we have been playing against each other in this tournament for many years. A very interesting and balanced match awaits us, it is quite difficult to predict what awaits us. Two great teams are meeting. We must show the best version of ourselves.
I am surprised that City is not playing at their usual level in the Premier League. But in the last two or three matches, I have seen a determined, competitive team. I cannot think that they are weak, as they have fantastic players, — Ancelotti is quoted by UEFA’s press service.
