Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti details Erling Haaland plan for Man City fixture

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti insists he is not focused solely on disrupting Erling Haaland when his side face Manchester City in their Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday.

Madrid arrived in Manchester with honours even, following last week's 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu. Vinicius Jr. opened the scoring shortly before half-time, with City needing a long-range effort from Kevin De Bruyne to level the tie with less than 25 minutes remaining.

The Belgian stepped up to find the net after an uncharacteristically quiet night for Haaland, who was unable to get much change out of Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba. The Norwegian has been City's main threat all season with an incredible 52 goals - including 12 from nine Champions League appearances - but Ancelotti insists his analysis of the Blues goes further than their top-scorer.
