Real Madrid defeated Espanyol in La Liga thinking about the Champion League game against Liverpool on Wednesday. Real Madrid started the game losing 0-1 but came back quite quickly with two goals in the first half. Vinicius and Militao.

Real Madrid controled the game in the second half and Asensio scored the third goal at the end of the game after a beautiful play of Nacho.

Ancelotti does not want to think that the game against Liverpool in the Champion League on Wednesday will be an easy task because the won 2-5 in Anfield Stadium.

After the game, Ancelotti laid out his views on the win and the upcoming Champions League clash against Liverpool.

"I liked the game. We did not start well, it could have become more complicated with a bit of frenzy in the game. I think that the goal trol it at the beginning. The goal (conceded) did not affect the attitude of the team. We came back, recovered well the match in the first half and controlled in the second half."

"We had an experience against Chelsea last year last year when we were two goals up and and that match was very hard for us. The truth is that we have an advantage, therefore we are the favourites, but it's also true that we have to play 90 minutes at the best of our possibilities with the same attitude with which we played the match in the first leg, keeping in mind that we have the advantage because this is something we cannot hide. We have the advantage and hopefully we'll exploit this advantage with top a game. We can't think we can speculate on the result, the minutes. No, we have to play 90 minutes at our best like we did in the first leg."
