He worked out his strategy. Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, opponent of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, has already thought of everything on the eve of the return match (1-0 in the first leg) against the club he coached from 2011 to 2013. The Italian technician set the scene, Tuesday, March 8, at a press conference: “We have a plan, not only to stop (Kylian) Mbappé but also for Neymar, for (Lionel) Messi and for all the good players Paris Saint-Germain have,” did he declare.

The Parisian gondola heads are therefore already targeted on the Merengue side. And the injury of the French international striker leaves no room for doubt in the minds of the Transalpin: “Considering what happened to him yesterday, I think he will be able to play. We are going to prepare the match thinking that Mbappé will be able to play“, he slips before adding that Mbappé will be well received by the stadium “who likes big players“.

To achieve this, the man from Emilia-Romagna has his idea: “The plan is to play as a block, with and without the ball and to maintain the intensity throughout the game. We will have to maintain the intensity for 90 minutes and deliver a complete score… and intelligent.”

Also well aware of the errors and the almost non-match of his proteges in the first leg, Carlo Ancelotti knows that solidarity in the effort will be the key to victory and therefore qualification. And he warns his troops: “We must not panic because we must win this match.begins the man who lifted the cup with big ears three times with his teams (2 in Milan, 1 in Real). We will have to move quickly in the game and believe in it until the last second. The important thing will be to keep the hope alive and to maintain the intensity from start to finish.” Here are the Parisians warned.
