Carlo Ancelotti has revealed his sympathy for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City after the Spaniard’s outburst at the fixture scheduling ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final second-leg.
The two sides come together at the Etihad Stadium all square after a 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu. Vinicius Jr and Kevin De Bruyne exchanged stunning strikes last week to leave the tie finely balanced.
Ahead of the decisive second-leg, City boss Guardiola has aired his complaints at the fixture schedule that his side have to face. The Premier League leaders take on Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday - just three days before their clash with Real.
