'We have to be satisfied' - Carlo Ancelotti admits Real Madrid will settle for a draw after chaotic Manchester City Champions League clash

Los Blancos played out a memorable 3-3 draw with Man City at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. Ancelotti's side fought back to overturn an early deficit, but then squandered a lead, and were forced to settle for a draw at home.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The game served as a stark contrast to the same tie played 11 months ago. In that fixture, the two sides gave up little, and played out a cagey 1-1 affair. Man City eventually comfortably won the second leg en route to a first Champions League title in the club's history.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

In a <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2024/04/09/6615b47f22601d7d708b4570.html" target="_blank">post-match press conference</a> Ancelotti begrudgingly accepted the result: "What I wanted was to take a small advantage, but we have to be satisfied. We have competed and if we do so also in the second leg we can go through."

WHAT ANCELOTTI SAID

The two sides will meet again next week in the second leg of the tie. Before that, both have domestic fixtures to worry about. Los Blancos play Mallorca, while Pep Guardiola's side host Luton.
