Ancelotti: “Maybe it wasn’t an exceptional match but we couldn’t risk their pressure.”

Carlo Ancelotti On “Sky” microphones, he commented on the fourth Champions League victory in his history and the 14th in the history of Real Madrid: “We have come to the end of a difficult, well-deserved competition, we suffered and we did it thanks. To the heart of this team, its qualities, its heart, its inspiration … Vinicius’ record Save Courtois: the journey is over.

What can be added to this magic?
“The need for this club to continue and to think about next year. At Liverpool we didn’t give them the opportunity to attack us from behind, the defenders were very good in my opinion.”

In every round it seemed that Real Madrid would come out…
“Every time they said: What a misfortune for Paris Saint-Germain, what a misfortune for Chelsea, what a misfortune for City.

I prepared it better from a tactical point of view
“Maybe we didn’t play very beautiful football, but the risk of going out behind the ball to encourage them to put pressure didn’t seem to be the case. Then we came out from the distance.”

You created the right mix of players this year, was that your secret?
“Regardless of individual qualities, I agree. This was our secret: the humility of the most experienced and the enthusiasm of the youngest.”
