Ancelotti delighted with Real Madrid victory over Borussia Dortmund

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was delighted with their 3-0 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund.

Real will go to Dortmund for the second-leg of the quarterfinal full of confidence.

Ancelotti said: “I'm happy with the result, the match and the team's attitude. It wasn't an easy match, we started it well, in the second half we reduced the tempo a little. Dortmund had a good attitude, above all on the counter. It is a very dangerous team. The second leg won't be easy."

“We did what we practised well. We pressured up front and played with intensity. We had possession of the ball and were clinical. I'm happy. In the first half we played with great intensity and energy and in the second we sat back a bit to play a little more on the counter. The atmosphere was very good."

“Borussia proved that they are a quality team and that they will try to turn the result around. They will try everything to come back. We have to be alert and play like we did in this match. If we play like today we'll reach the semi-finals. Touch all the wood in the world, I don't like talking about the semis yet. They are setting a trap for the second leg and we have to be prudent and avoid it."
