After the match Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said , “This team never gives up. This match has made me the happiest this season so far. We’ve won a lot of matches playing well, but playing with 10 and losing 1-0, with a physical disadvantage, with goals from players who don’t play much…it means a lot.”
