After Real Madrid – Chelsea: Carlo Ancelotti in…
… Toni Kroos and Casemiro’s substitutions that turned the tide: “Why did we win the quarter-finals? Because we had the strength to keep the game alive, especially in the last part. So the changes I made were to keep the game alive. Nacho (Fernandez) Then he had to go out because he could no longer do that to Vinicius (Carpentry) also. The team struggled and pulled it all out. The match was tough, we knew that beforehand and it turned out to be more complicated. Honestly, we didn’t deserve to be 2-0 down but the positional play was difficult because we were with (adir) Militao is the best player because he was missing. It is true that we were not eager to score in the first half, but we managed to build the match well. We had a deteriorating psychological state after 2-0, but how do I explain it: the magic of this stadium helps the team a lot to never give up and never give up. I am very happy to be in the semi-finals with this club. Happiness outweighs suffering.
…the question of how he managed to calm down: “Because you have to keep your cool. You have to assess the situation well. Like I said, I brought (Eduardo) Camavinga and Rodrygo (he goes) To add dynamism to the game because I think Chelsea were already weak from a physical point of view. That gave us an advantage in extra time because we were fitter than Chelsea.”

She has (Danny) She helped Carvajal play very well in the center, and helped the team find the essential energy to reach the semi-finals.”
… Karim Benzema limps at the end of the match: “No. Karim has nothing.”
… The question if it can be said that Real Madrid cannot win the Champions League: “No, no one can say. No one can say that Real Madrid is not winning. I think today we proved our ability to keep up until the last game. I would like to congratulate Villarreal and Unai Emery because they have a statement (against Bayern Munich) he sat. I think few think that two Spanish teams will be in the semi-finals of the Champions League. And tomorrow could be the third (Atletico Madrid) follow on. Who knows.”
… Rodrygo goes and his magic in the Champions League: “I think when Rodrygo enters a game he makes a difference and often. He also made the difference against Paris, and he scored today. He is a young player and I still need some time to settle in, but I am very happy with him.”
… The future of Camavinga at Real Madrid: “His quality and dynamism are key to the team. He can also play from the start but when he comes he brings that energy and helps the team. When the intensity drops a little bit in the game you can play with new players like him, (Federico) Valverde or Rodrygo changed the whole path.”
