Carlo Ancelotti Real Madrid underperformed in their 1- 1 Champions League round- of- 16 draw with RB Leipzig on Wednesday, calling it a” bad game” and saying the platoon” must ameliorate” after progressing 2- 1 on the total.
VinÃcius Júnior put Madrid ahead in the 65th nanosecond at the Santiago Bernabeu, converting Jude Bellingham’s pass, but Willi Orbán equalized for Leipzig three twinkles latterly to make for a nervous end to the game, with Leipzig ‘sss Dani Olmo hitting the bar in added time.
“It was a bad game, with low intensity,” Ancelotti told Movistar.” The cerebral aspect conditioned our game. We played against an opponent with quality, who played with nothing to lose, and we had the thickets on from the launch until the end. We suffered, but the important thing was to get to the quarterfinals, and we are there.”
Madrid failed to register a shot on target in the first half, with Ancelotti making a half-time change, bringing on forward Rodrygo for midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.
“The idea was to press more, with energetic midfielders, but we played with the thickets on,” Ancelotti said.” No pressing, slow with the ball, not direct, with sideways passes.
“It was not a good night. It’s my fault. Occasionally in the Champions League, this can be. It happed to us against Chelsea at home (in April 2022). But occasionally a bad game can see you excluded.”
Carlo Ancelotti was dissatisfied with Real Madrid’s performance against RB Leipzig despite progressing in the Champions League.
Despite the disappointing performance, Madrid is now in the Champions League quarterfinals– alongside Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester City so far– and are top of La Liga.
“We have a seven-point lead in the league and we are in the quarter finals. However, we would have taken it,” Ancelotti said in his post-match news conference If we would be offered that at the launch of the season.
“I might have been wrong with the starting 11. We must be tone-critical and ameliorate.. The review moment is completely justified. The hisses (from the crowd) at half- time were merited.”
“We suffered a lot. They played well and we played bad, simple,” Madrid protector Antonio Rüdiger said.” We were just sloppy, slow, zero intensity. In the Champions League, you can get penalized for this. We did not find the right answer moment.
“You have to be switched on for 90 twinkles plus. It was not a good performance, but at the end of the day we’re through.”
