A great match of pros at the Wanda Metropolitano.
In the 1/8 finals of the Spanish Cup, Atletico beat Real Madrid (4:2) in the bitter Madrid derby.. Head coach of the “Vershkovyh” Carlo Ancelotti gave a commentary behind the bags of the lost match.
" This is a derby, it was like all derby.
Vinicius had a better time playing in the first half, but in the other half he played a key role, constantly threatening his opponent’s goal and leading to a very strong match.
I don't want to analyze the actions of other football players. For nobody's sake we could have better control over the group. There was no need to force the situation - this is a sin of youth.
Real Madrid fell into a less prominent position, and Atletico Madrid, so that they could prepare for the game all day. Our team fought and didn’t look tired. I couldn’t imagine that in the early hours we were physically asked.
We are confidently playing in the protection of La Lisa, but the cups are less reliable. Atletico scores a lot of goals, especially at home. We conceded, but we also scored a lot against our opponent, but we just scored more,” said the Italian footballer.
It is significant that all bets for the 1/4 final of the Spanish Cup have become known.
