Ancelotti spoke after the first leg vs Bayern Munich Real Madrid came back from a goal down to draw 2-2 against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. A brace from Vinicius Junior was exceptional and needed, and his first goal involved an exceptional pass from Toni Kroos. Speaking about it in the press conference, Carlo Ancelotti said: ?Toni Kroos, no words for him. He?s a top player. He?s crucial for us. His pass is not for everyone, absolutely. But also Vini?s movement was smart. Excellent.?
Ancelotti on Real Madrid?s performance
?The result is good. It could have been better. Our best moment was the beginning of the second half, and [then] they scored two on us. Bayern is very dangerous. They showed the best version of him and we didn?t. We have time to improve for Wednesday.? Ancelotti on lack of intensity
?Yes, I think that in the first half, we defended with little intensity. We gave him too much room to control. In the second half, when they got ahead, we started to put more pressure. It seemed like we were comfortable, but the intensity was lacking. We lost many duels. We finished the game well. The tie is even, but in an environment that everyone knows.?
Ancelotti on why he subbed Kroos off
?Just [for] more energy. Kroos played a very good game. Something had to change, and I have tools on the bench.?
