Carlo Ancelotti: 'We were bad. Very slow. We have to say it'

"We were bad [against RB Leipzig]. Very stiff, the block was too deep. With the ball, we were very slow, not vertical. It was a bad night. We have to say it," Carlo Ancelotti has told the media.

"We wanted to press more and instead we defended too low. We had little verticality, it was a bad evening and it seems obvious to me," he also said.

Indeed, Real Madrid have had a poor outing against RB Leipzig. If only the visitors' conversion rate was slightly better, the Whites would've had more problems.

Still, the more experienced side managed to get through to the quarterfinals.
