Coach Carlo Ancelotti is grateful not only to Karim Benzema, but also to Real Madrid fans after the final 3-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round of 16. The Italian thinks home advantage played an important role in Wednesday evening’s final results.
“After Karim Benzema’s draw, the magic of the stadium and our fans made the difference,” Ancelotti said at the post-match press conference. said. “It’s that simple. They gave us energy and beat our opponent. We were the only team on the field in the last 30 minutes.”
Real lost 1-0 in their first game against PSG and fell behind again on Wednesday, leaving their ticket to the quarter-final unattainable. The 34-year-old star won the “Royal” thanks to Benzema’s hat-trick, while Luka Modric, two years older, also left a good impression on the Real coach.
“They like to play for this club and they improve every day,” said Ancelotti. We went through a difficult time when Karim was injured, but luckily he is back now. And Luke always plays well when I pick him.”
Real Madrid have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the eighteenth time and are in the race to win the ‘big ears cup’ for the seventh time this century. The confidence of the people of Madrid is solid.
“After our first game against Paris Saint-Germain it looked like we wouldn’t have a chance, but in the second game we were much better,” said Ancelotti. If we feel good, we can compete with any team.”
