Anceplotti: It was easier on Liverpool than on Man City, Chelsea and SPG.

The Italian technician led his team towards a grand triumph in the Champions League after defeating Liverpool in the final.

Similarly, the Magrillians had eliminated giants such as PSG, Chelsea of Manchester City. According to Anceplott, all three of these teams were more problematic than Liverpool.

“People say the PSG had no luck, Chelsea had no luck and Man City was not lucky. This was the only game where people thought we were more or less equal to”, Ancelotti said.

I think it helped savepool to be easier deciphered because they have a clearer identity of their game, and we were able to prepare correctly for it. We knew what strategies they had. Don't leave space for balls behind the defence”, the Italian added.

Maybe we didn't do nice football, but it's not a good idea to start the game from behind. We had some long balls, and then we checked the ball, especially in the second half”, Real Madrid coach said among other things.

Liverpool was seen as the favourite to Real Madrid in the League Champions final, but the green field had another story for football fans.
