Rodrigo scored both goals for Real Madrid in the match.
And Real Madrid had achieved victory in going to its stronghold, “Santiago Bernabeu”, with two goals without a response, as well.
Ancelotti said, during statements reported by the Spanish newspaper “AS”, “It was known that we would suffer in this type of match. In the first half, we faced problems on the left side, then we corrected the situation.”
He added, “It is a complete match. We had a very good level, and we were strong in defense. It was a well-deserved qualification, and we are very happy with this victory.”
And he continued, “Courtois’ decisive save was very important, because they could have advanced in the score, which could increase the anxiety. In the second half, we managed the match better and had the space to play quick transitions.”
Regarding Militao’s absence in the semi-finals, he answered: “The card he got caused us some anxiety, because playing with 10 players is difficult, but he played a great match. We will miss him in the first leg, but we hope to get Alaba back.”
Regarding the team’s injuries, he explained: “Alaba has a strain in his hamstring muscles and was unable to continue the match. Karim was suffering from a foot injury at the end of the confrontation, which is why he was substituted. When we scored the second goal, we just needed to defend.”
He concluded by talking about Milan’s qualification and the possibility of facing them in the final: “We think of ourselves. I am happy that the Rossoneri reached the semi-finals after a long time, but I am sorry for Napoli because I respect them as well.”
Real Madrid will face the qualifiers between Bayern Munich and Chelsea in the next round of the competition.
