Real Madrid Manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed his satisfaction with the performance of the players after beating Chelsea at home 2-0 on Wednesday at Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with Real Madrid's commanding 2-0 win against Chelsea but stressed they must be ready to "fight and sacrifice" in the second leg at Stamford Bridge. “It was a complete match, we suffered at the start, but the objective was to take the advantage, and we did it. We are satisfied with the result, the performance, but it’s not over. We know that we will have to sacrifice another 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge, we know that Chelsea will give everything next week. Real Madrid coach continued:“We could have pushed a little more, it’s true, but at eleven against eleven, we deployed a lot of energy to recover the ball high, to put the pressure, and at the end of the match, we missed it a little energy and lucidity to kill the game. But we must remain positive, and satisfied with the match we have just had. To be repeated on Tuesday“.
