Real Madrid advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But after the 1:1 home draw against Leipzig they were heavily criticized.
The Blancos played a very bad game and only the mistakes of the German opponent prevented them from knocking out the Spaniards already in the round of 16. Ancelotti admitted at the end: "It was a bad match, we were not good, not intense. We played against a very high-quality opponent, who had nothing to lose"
