Ancelotti argues Man City equalizer shouldn't have counted!

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti said Manchester City's equalizer in Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg should not have counted. Ancelotti was not happy with the referee for failing to consult with VAR after City's goal because he felt Bernardo Silva took the ball over the touchline in the build-up to Kevin De Bruyne's stunning strike. "The ball was off the pitch," Ancelotti said. "The technology said it. I don't understand why VAR didn't check it. The referee didn't pay attention to many things." Ancelotti, speaking to the media, added: "A good game, an interesting game. Difficult for us in the first half, but in the second half it was much better. They controlled possession in the first half but we were in good control defensively and when we started to play the ball we created a lot of difficulties. "You have to stay calm, you have to keep the position defensively, do not go crazy to press, stay there and play the low block, and when we had the opportunity we scored the first goal. [Vinicius Junior] is in a fantastic moment but the team played well.
"I am satisfied, with a good sensation about the game on Wednesday." Real Madrid will face a risky task in the return match of defending the title, when it will visit Manchester City on Wednesday, May 17 at “Al Ittihad” stadium in Manchester.
