Real Madrid lost for the first time in the 2022 edition of the Champions League and already qualified for the round of 16, they had the luxury of giving up points against Leipzig in German territory by a tight 3-2 scoreline in group F play.
Therefore, after the defeat, Carlo Ancelotti spoke after this surprise defeat in Germany and made it clear that it is not a result to be alarmed about, as he feels confident in the team he owns.
“We have not been attentive to set pieces, we have conceded two goals in actions that are usually more forceful and from then on the game has been more complicated because they have exploited their quality on the counterattack.
Likewise, the merengue coach emphasized that it is better to learn from this type of defeat than to be winning often, since it is easier for him to see mistakes and what needs to be corrected to continue being better.
“With a defeat you learn more than with ten wins in a row, you are going to focus more on what has not gone well, especially the defensive set pieces where we are usually much better but it can happen.” The defeat had to come”, acknowledged Ancelotti.
With this 3-2 result over Leipzig, Real Madrid continues to lead group F with 10 points and will now close against Celtic on November 1, 2022, with whom it will close the first phase of the Champions League.
