We are not strange – Carlo Ancelotti responds to Bernardo Silva

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has fired back at Manchester City star Bernardo Silva following his comments about the Spanish side being a ‘weird team’ after their Champions League clash.

Silva had expressed his opinion that Madrid were difficult to play against due to their ability to create chances even when not dominating possession.

However, Ancelotti disagreed with Silva’s assessment, stating that Madrid simply exemplify the history and experience of the competition.

“We are not strange,” Ancelotti asserted ahead of Madrid’s semi-final clash against Bayern Munich. “We are a team that can show the history of the past in this competition.”

Ancelotti praised Silva as a great player but emphasised that Madrid’s success in the Champions League is a testament to their understanding of the tournament’s demands.

Real Madrid secured their spot in the semi-finals after defeating Manchester City on penalties, despite City’s dominant performance in the second leg. Now, Ancelotti’s side is gearing up to face Bayern Munich, aiming to continue their impressive run in the competition.

Silva played a pivotal role for Manchester City across both legs against Madrid, but his side ultimately fell short in their quest for Champions League glory.

Meanwhile, Real are also focused on securing the La Liga title, with Ancelotti’s men sitting comfortably at the top of the table. They could clinch the title this weekend if results go their way.

As Madrid prepare for their crucial Champions League tie against Bayern Munich, Carlo Ancelotti remains confident in his team’s ability to compete at the highest level of European football.
