Ahead of Real Madrid vs Man City, Ancelotti Gives a Warning

– Two European giants Real Madrid vs Manchester City will clash in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals at the Santiago Bernabeau, Wednesday (10/5/2023) early morning WIB.

Ahead of the match, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti gave a warning to his opponent. The Italian coach emphasized that the Champions League has become Madrid’s DNA so they deserve respect.

Los Blancos have won four of the last seven editions of the Champions League. The Santiago Bernabeu magic has played a huge role in those titles and Ancelotti is well aware of that.

“We have won every possible title in two seasons and we are preparing to face the next Champions League challenge in a great atmosphere,” said Ancelotti.

“We will compete well because we are very close to another final. We will do everything we can to reach the final and win. In the first leg against City, we will have an advantage because we are playing 12 against 11,” he continued.

The confidence of Madrid players is high following the success of winning the Copa del Rey title this season. “We have won every possible title in two seasons and we are preparing to face the next Champions League challenge in an exciting atmosphere,” he said.

Manchester City will need to be at their best to get a result in the Spanish capital, but they have the advantage of being able to play the second leg at home, at the Etihad Stadium. That could be an important aspect of this match, as long as Real Madrid can’t show their dominance in the first leg.
