After I saw the good performance from Real Madrid against Manchester City in the previous game they had in the Champions League, I think Real Madrid had an epic performance and Ancelotti knows how to beat even stronger teams because beating Gadudiola was not easy at all.
I think if Real Madrid has the good performance we saw from them against Manchester Cityagaginst other teams like Bayern Munich, they can easily beat Bayern Munich because compared to Manchester City, Bayern Munich is not a strong team, especially after losing the Bundesliga title to Leverkusen.
Ordinary people in the world of football only see Man City controlling the match. In fact, what actually happened was that Real Madrid controlled the game even without possession of the ball, allowing the opponents to play around, but they remained calm with their mentality and quality. Ancelotti's strategy is truly genius, he only relies on the individual skills of each player.
Indeed, Man City's game was very beautiful in Pep's hands. Just like he coached Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Even though those who are recorded in history are still winners, it is not about the beauty of the game. This is very different from Ancelotti, despite the monotonous opinion that football is about winning. Ancelotti really knows what to do if he meets Pep Guardiola. When you face it, if you play openly, you will lose badly. Counter-attack strategy and defensive discipline are the best ways to deal with Pep Guardiola's beauty. So it is not surprising that Ancelotti is successful with Real Madrid at this time.
Bayern Munich is currently not too strong compared to previous seasons, but they have a mentality and great players so Real Madrid still has to view them as a tough opponent who should not be underestimated. However, I believe in the myth in the UCL that if the team is able to beat the defending champion then it will be the one who gets the UCL trophy. So I believe Real Madrid can beat Bayern Munich in the semifinals.
