Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti to Amazon Prime: “The result means that Arsenal were much better than us. The game was a bit different. For 60 minutes the game was level, and then they shoot two fantastic free-kicks. The game it changes. Now it will be very difficult in the second leg. But we have to try.
“The reaction, mentally we went down. We had a problem in the final 30 minutes of the game.”
On Real Madrid never overturning a three-goal first leg deficit in their history: “There is always a first time. You have to try. The only thing you can do together is to try, and we will try.
“They are a really good team. Compact all the time and good on the ball. They are a good team. I said this yesterday. No news.
“The comeback starts tonight.”
