Carlo Ancelotti has nothing but admiration for Karim Benzema and Thibaut Courtois, praising them for being the best in their respective roles.
He will lead his team in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final. The Spanish Giants beat Chelsea 3-1 in London courtesy of a Karim Benzema hat-trick. The scoreline would have been more challenging to overturn had the away goal rule stood this season. The Italian coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“[The victory in the first leg] can be a dangerous if we think most of the work is done. We made a lot in the first leg, and we must do the same tomorrow. We played well in the first half, we must do the same in the second half.”
Carlo Ancelotti is vastly experienced in the Champions League, having won the title twice as a footballer and three times as a Coach.
