“There is one missing”- Carlo Ancelotti reveals that he showed Real Madrid players a video of all their season’s comebacks right before the match against Manchester City
Carlo Ancelotti, who reached his fifth Champions League final, shared that he showed a video that had all of Real Madrid’s comebacks this season, before the game. Manchester City was in touching distance of the final but three late goals helped Real Madrid register yet another historic comeback, sailing off to the Champions League final.
After the match, Carlo Ancelotti told to Movistar: “The video I showed the team before we took to the pitch was of all the comebacks we have already made this season – which is eight in total. The video ended with the message: ‘There is one missing’. And we succeeded.
Ancelotti further stated that he just needed to boost the players’ morale before the match, claiming that the “greatness of Real Madrid never lets anyone down.”
“The greatness of this club is that it never lets you down. When all seems lost, it gives you the strength to continue, to fight, to believe. We had a good match against a great team. We called on our reserves to equalize and win. Reaching the final is already a success. Now we’re very close to winning it,” added the Italian coach.
Real Madrid vs Liverpool: The stage is set for a rematch of the Champions League 2017-18 final
Real Madrid will now lock horns against Liverpool in the final on May 28, in what will be the rematch of the 2018 Champions League final. Real Madrid had triumphed on that occasion, thanks to a Gareth Bale masterclass. However, the Reds have a score to settle when they meet Carlo Ancelotti’s men once again in Paris last month.
Real Madrid has already been crowned as La Liga Champions while Klopp’s side is still one point behind Manchester City in the race to the Premier League title. They also have a FA Cup final coming up against Chelsea before facing Real Madrid in Paris.
