Real Madrid deservedly defeated Manchester City and reached the Champions League final. This was stated by the ex-coach of Real Madrid Fabio Capello to RBC Sport.
Real Madrid felt confident yesterday, went into pressure from the first minutes. We must give credit to the team of Carlo Ancelotti for not being afraid to go on the attack against City, not shutting down and deservedly winning. In some moments, both City and Real should have scored, but in general, the score for the game. Now we are waiting for the final. Liverpool are trying to play intense football with a high pressing line and it will be interesting to see how Real will deal with that,” said Capello.
