Carlo Ancelotti admitted Real Madrid must improve for their second leg against Manchester City next week, and will need the 'magic' of the Bernabeu to help them reach the Champions League final.
City lead Real 4-3 after a brilliantly entertaining first leg at the Etihad on Tuesday, but the Blues let two-goal leads slip three times as Ancelotti's men gave themselves a fighting chance at the Bernabeu next week. Karim Benzema scored a brilliant double either side of Vinicius Jr's solo goal in a game of high quality between the leaders of the Premier League and La Liga.
After the game, Ancelotti was full of praise for City but said Real's defending was below what he would expect.
