Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that his team has good reasons for the “Remontada” work at the Santiago Bernabeu, following losing 1-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the 16th round of the Champions League, noting that his players will be “11 in addition to 50 thousand.” “Fans support them.
Regarding the confirmed absence in the return match due to the suspension of both Brazilian Casemiro and French Ferland Mendy, who received a yellow card in the first leg, he said: “We have more players in the team, and this is not the first time that these two players are not present. This is just a problem.”
Regarding the return leg, Ancelotti said: “We have to play a stronger match than we played,” stressing that they did not go to the Princes Park stadium to look for a draw.
In his opinion, Real defended well, but they did not know how to pose a threat to the opponent with the ball. In this regard, he said: “We suffered from all sides, on the wings and in the middle of the field, where our three players usually don’t miss a lot of passes.”
