Real Madrid and Manchester City meet at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday with a ticket to the Champions League final at stake, with one of the two facing Liverpool.

Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke just over an hour before kick-off and was transparent when he said: "From 1 to 10, I'm nervous about an 8, but when the game starts, it goes down.

"To win this game we have to do well in all aspects. Vinicius, Benzema, Valverde? I ask everyone to defend", he continued.

"The last sentence I said to them? We have seen a very nice and motivational video", he concluded.
