Real Madrid are in a good position to progress to another Champions League final, having drawn 2-2 with Bayern Munich in the first leg of their semi-final tie. It was a battling performance from Los Blancos at the Allianz Arena, with the home side having the better of the proceedings.
Bayern certainly dominated for the vast majority of the 90 minutes. Carlo Ancelotti’s side were uncharacteristically poor, with the Italian manager admitted when he spoke to the media post-match, as per Diario AS.
“The result is good. He could have done better. Our best moment was at the beginning of the second half, when they scored twice. Bayern are very dangerous. They were at their best, and we weren’t. We have time to improve next week.”
“I think we defended with little intensity in the first half. We gave him too much room to control. In the second half, when they took the lead, we started to press more. It looked like we were comfortable, but there was a lack of intensity. We lost a lot of duels.”
Despite the underwhelming display, Ancelotti is aware that his Real Madrid side are in a good position to head to Wembley in June against either Paris Saint-Germain or Borussia Dortmund.
“We’re here to fight. There’s 90 more minutes for us to get to London.”

its really hard to watch and enjoy Real Madrid under Don Carlo ....this team is not working enough and i feel that this coach is holding our team back.....i don't understand his tactics and the players don't press in small spaces......we can't continue to play like this.....we have some of the best young players across Europe.,...but we continue to defend almost every game.....what...then young players can't be trusted.... no man.... ..we will need a change of coach very soon......👌

We complain about tactics but forget that the team doesn’t have a reliable striker 🤦♂️

Below par? I disagree. Madrid had more attempts on goal and they controlled the game better than Bayern

Who has noticed that anytime Madrid players get enough rest before a match, they rather look dull n boring in e beginning of a match. it takes sometimes to warm themselves up into e match

Did you see Vinicious complaining to Ancelotti about their defensive game instead of them attacking ?? Did you see him ?? Just five minutes after he complained, Realmadrid took the ball straight to Bayern eighteen yards box by Vinicious who then dribble Bayern defenders before passing the ball to Rodrygo who converted a penalty. A lots will argue with your comment by supporting Ancelotti tactics but real fans of Realmadrid will definitely agree with you. A Big Club shouldn't be playing this way.
