MADRID : Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti believes that gaining a mental advantage over Manchester City will be as important as the result when the two teams meet at Santiago Bernabeu in their Champions League semi-final first leg on Tuesday.
"We need to play a complete game tomorrow and be aware that the decisive match will be the second leg. So our aim is to travel to Manchester with a small advantage," Ancelotti told a press conference on Monday. "The game of football is made of several layers and the mental part is a big one. We need to play well to bring the pressure to their side in the second leg."
"We are not preparing a match to stop a player, we are preparing to stop an entire team who looks unstoppable," Ancelotti said.
