Champions League, Ancelotti does not fear Haaland and City

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti analyzed the Champions League match against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, which is going through a great moment of form in the cups and in the league: “Haaland is very dangerous, he has an impressive quality in scoring goals. However, there is not only him, City is a great team and we do not have to play a game to stop Haaland, rather we have to stop a team that seems unstoppable. We have options, we can win.”

Ancelotti emphasized how, compared to last year, Guardiola’s team has changed: “Now they take advantage of long balls, in many games they took advantage of them. This does not mean they have changed their style. They are very well organized in defense and play well with the ball.”

“If you defend well, the worst result is a draw,” Ancelotti continued. “That doesn’t mean we won’t attack. Let’s not forget that last year against City we conceded five goals and scored six in two games. I would put my signature on it to do the same this year.”
