Carlo Ancelotti's epic response against Bayern Munich
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti in his post match press conference, made his feelings clear on the suggestions that referee helped Real Madrid.
When he was made aware that Bayern Munich were complaining about the offside call, Carlo simply pointed to the fact that Real Madrid can also complain about Nacho's goal being disallowed and that Kimmich was the first one to initiate the contact.
βBayern complaining about the offside? OK, then we complain about the cancelled goal of Nacho. Kimmich dived,β said Carlo Ancelotti in his post match press conference.
Carlo Ancelotti further suggested that the episode was simple to explain as if the referee would not have blown the whistle then Real Madrid would have kept on playing. But because the referee blew the whistle, Real Madrid stopped playing and hence Bayern Munich scored.
βThe offside episode is simple to explain. Maybe it wasn't offside, but the referee whistled (before the goal) and we stopped playing. That's it,β said Carlo Ancelotti on the incident.
With this victory Real Madrid has advanced to the another Champions League final and awaiting at Wembley for Carlo Ancelotti and his troops will be Borussia Dortmund.
