Ancelotti Pleased with Real Madrid’s Impressive Victory Over Bayern, Remains Neutral on Final Opponent
Carlo Ancelotti couldn’t hide his satisfaction after Real Madrid’s stunning 4-0 victory over Bayern Munich on Tuesday night, a result that sealed their place in the Champions League final on May 24.
The Merengues’ dominant display at the Allianz Arena ensured a commanding 5-0 aggregate win over the Bundesliga champions, marking a significant achievement for the Spanish giants. Speaking after the match, a delighted Ancelotti was full of praise for his team’s collective performance.
“I congratulate everyone,” Ancelotti said. “Our players have developed very well. When everyone works together, there is quality, and things go perfectly.”
With Real Madrid now just one match away from their 10th European title, attention turned to the question of who they would prefer to face in the final. While striker Karim Benzema expressed a preference for facing Chelsea, Ancelotti remained non-committal, stating that he had no particular preference between the Blues and Atlético Madrid, who face off in the other semi-final.
“I don’t know who I’d rather face in the final,” Ancelotti admitted. “Chelsea has a lot of experience, while Atlético is really motivated. The most important thing now is that we’ve qualified to meet one of these two teams.”
Both Chelsea and Atlético Madrid present unique challenges for Real Madrid. Chelsea boasts a wealth of European experience, having won the Champions League twice in recent years, while Atlético Madrid’s relentless drive under manager Diego Simeone makes them formidable opponents.
As Real Madrid prepares for the final in Lisbon, Ancelotti’s focus will be on maintaining the momentum from their dominant win over Bayern, with his squad now eyeing the opportunity to claim another iconic European title.
