Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti shared his thoughts at a press conference after the victory over Atletico.

The Madrid derby is always hot and intense. This was the case in this match, as Atletico put Real Madrid in a difficult position with a strong defense and impressive play. Coach Carlo Ancelotti said of the match:

"It was a difficult match"

"We started the match in a difficult way because we conceded a goal in the first minute. It was a serious test for us. Atletico defended well and managed to control the match. We didn't have many chances, which made it even more difficult. In the first half we had problems with possession, which was worrying for me. However, in the second half we managed to control the ball well in the opponent's half."

"We tried not to take it to penalties"

"We tried to use every opportunity to avoid taking the match to penalties. Cavaminha did a great job, he played very effectively. I also decided to substitute Tchuameny because he had a yellow card. In addition, Braim came on well from the bench and helped the team."

"The worst is Mendy's injury"

"The worst is that Mendy is injured. It could be a serious loss for us, but we will fight until the end. We will prepare for every game to the maximum and give our all. Now we have important matches ahead of us and we will focus on them."

With this victory, Real Madrid continued their successful run in the Champions League and advanced to the next round. The team is a serious contender for the title this season as well." Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
