He highlighted their impressive Champions League run, including a convincing aggregate victory over Arsenal, and their motivation to claim the only remaining trophy this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;re not overconfident despite being favorites,&#8221; Ancelotti stated. &#8220;They may not have had a great Bundesliga season, but they proved their European strength against a strong Arsenal team.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He acknowledged that Champions League history favors both teams, but Real Madrid also boasts a strong record with 14 titles. The Spanish giants are also on the verge of a La Liga title with a substantial lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live<a href=\"https:\/\/24hscore.net\/football\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> football scores<\/a> delivered to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"?

He acknowledged Bayern&#8217;s dangerous attacking transitions and their desire to send departing coach Thomas Tuchel off on a high note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;re similar teams without a rigid style,&#8221; Ancelotti explained. &#8220;They can change their approach and can be very dangerous on the attack.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, he emphasized the importance of this being a two-legged tie. Real Madrid approaches the match with confidence, but they recognize the quality and individual talent within the Bayern squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The manager remained tight-lipped about his team selection for the crucial first leg, with the biggest question mark surrounding Antonio Rudiger&#8217;s central defensive partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aurelien Tchouameni has impressed in a defensive role during the absence of injured center-backs Eder Militao and David Alaba. While Militao recently made his first start of the season, Ancelotti kept the selection a mystery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of their Champions League semi-final first leg in Munich, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti warned his players against underestimating Bayern Munich despite their recent Bundesliga shortcomings.
