Carlo Ancelotti admitted he was nervous despite leading Real Madrid to the Copa del Rey final after Tuesday’s thrilling semi-final second leg against Real Sociedad, which ended 5-4 on aggregate at the Santiago Bernabeu. While it was an
exciting game for the average home side, conceding four goals on home soil was a concern for Los Blancos, and Ancelotti admitted it was a worry.
“It was an enjoyable game, with a lot of mistakes and good moments. It was an exciting game. We reached the final, which was our target,” Ancelotti said.
“I never thought we would be eliminated because at the Bernabeu anything can happen. เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย When we need to come back, we never give up, especially at home with our fans. “
We were a little bit unlucky. Alaba had two deflections, which can happen, but conceding four goals is not good. Of course, we could have scored four, but we had no balance in defence. Our team has weaknesses in balance. But we had a strong attacking game. Scoring four goals against Real Sociedad is not easy,”
Ancelotti also spoke about Vinicius Junior’s foul on Sociedad midfielder Jon Olasagasti in extra time, which he felt was a red card.
“For me, it was a clear red card, but I have nothing more to say,” the Italian added.
“I told him that if he doesn’t help defensively, I will take him off. Then he started to play with more enthusiasm and show his quality. He played a very important role in extra time, making two assists.”
