Real Madrid were pragmatic in their approach to the game against Bayern on Tuesday night. Ancelotti's tactic set up the team to sit deep and play on the counter and depend on turnovers.
But Barcelona journalist Jose Alvares who works for El Chringuito claimed he was far from impressed by what he saw from La Liga champions elect on a big Champions League night.
"I would rename Ancelotti as... 'AnCHOLOtti'" Alvares said. "More and more I see Real Madrid playing like Atletico Madrid."
The journalist claims Real Madrid now plays the heavy-metal, defensive brand of football Atletico Madrid play under Dieogo Simeone who is popularly referred to as Cholo.
You can smell the jealousy from across town, can't you? This man's team were bundled out in the quarter-final by a less-fancied PSG team whereas Real Madrid remains unbeaten in the competition.
Indeed Bayern had more possession on the night but stats showed it was only 52%. Meanwhile, Real Madrid scored two goals to give themselves a slight edge in the tie.
