O Real Madrid ended in a tie with Manchester City 1-1 in the first leg of the semifinals of Champions League this Tuesday. For Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Merengues, the goal conceded by his team in the second stage was irregular.
In a press conference after the match, the Italian protested against the move that led to Manchester City’s goal. On the occasion, Bernardo Silva stretched to prevent the ball from leaving the side and managed to put it back in the game. A few touches later, De Bruyne tapped in from outside the area and left everything the same. Subsequently, images of B.a Sportsan English vehicle, confirmed that the ball went out over the sideline.
“I was out. I’m not the one saying it. The technology is saying it. BeIN Sports showed. Not the VAR, because he didn’t see that. It’s strange to me that they didn’t see it right. Small details. It was a full-back for us, but the referee wasn’t very attentive. And on top of that I saw I got yellow and I wasn’t even playing. He wasn’t paying much attention because the players on the pitch deserved more yellow cards,” Ancelotti said.

Regarding Real Madrid’s performance, the coach demonstrated that he was satisfied, despite pointing out some mistakes in the team’s posture.
“They will try harder being at home. Our strategy was good and we controlled Manchester City well in the second half. We moved the ball more and created more chances. In the first half we weren’t very patient with the ball. more with the ball in the first 20 minutes, as we did in the second half”, explained the coach.
The return match will be next Wednesday, at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Etihad Stadium. Before that, Real Madrid returns to the pitch on Saturday to face Getafe for the Spanish Championship.
