Champions League: Ancelotti Reveals Strategy for Defeating Man City

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has revealed the tactics behind his team’s elimination of Manchester City from this season’s Champions League.

The Spanish giants overcame City in the quarter-finals and are set to face Borussia Dortmund in the final this Saturday.

After drawing 3-3 with Pep Guardiola’s side at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid won on penalties following another draw at the Etihad.

“There is no ‘Ancelotti style’ – I adapt,” Ancelotti explained. “Against Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-final, we played a low block with strong defense. We’ve only used that approach once or twice this season.

“We typically play more attacking football, but I saw this as the best way to compete and win that game.”
