"Real Madrid" head coach Carlo Ancelotti shared his thoughts at the press conference after the victory over Atlético.
The Madrid derby is always intense and fierce. It was the same in this match, as Atlético put Real Madrid in a difficult situation with their strong defense and impressive play. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti said the following about the match:
"It was a difficult match"
"We started the game in a complicated way, as we conceded a goal in the very first minute. It was a serious test for us. Atlético defended well and managed to control the match. We didn't have many opportunities, which made things even harder. In the first half, we struggled to maintain possession, which was concerning for me. However, in the second half, we managed to control the ball well in the opponent's half."
"We tried to avoid going to penalties"
"We tried to use every opportunity to avoid taking the match to penalties. Kavaming made an excellent move, he showed very effective play. I also decided to substitute Tchuameni because he had a yellow card. Besides that, Braim also contributed well from the bench and helped the team."
"The worst thing is my injury"
"The worst thing is that I got injured. This could be a serious loss for us, but we will fight until the end anyway. We prepare for each game as best as we can and give it our all. Right now, we have important matches ahead, and we will focus fully on them."
"Real Madrid" continued its successful run in the Champions League with this victory and advanced to the next stage. The team is also seriously competing for the championship this season."
