Carlo Ancelotti conceded his Real Madrid group neglected to adhere to his strategy in Tuesday night's loss by Manchester City.
The Los Blancos supervisor was searching for his side to safeguard first at the Etihad, yet his back four neglected to turn up in the Champions League, with his strikers guaranteeing Real Madrid are still in this tie. Ancelotti was inquired as to whether he wanted to go at Man City and make an open game and conceded this wasn't something he urged his players to do.
"Not really, no [the plan wasn't to go after Gung-Ho]," Ancelotti said after the match. "The arrangement was to safeguard better. We began really severely and surrendered two objectives really early.
"However at that point we had the option to respond and we responded really well. We remained in the game and we are remaining in this round. We have a home game and our allies could help us."
On the actual match, Ancelotti added: "It was not difficult to peruse this game, without a doubt. We need to shield better. [Pep] Guardiola can say something very similar. The strikers had a preferable game over the protectors."

He added: " Manchester City enjoys the benefit, they have another objective. In any case, I think at the Bernabeu everything is open."
