"We dropped our intensity, thinking the game was controlled and comfortable," Ancelotti said. "This team relaxes when it can relax, when it can't, it doesn't. At the back we only gave up one chance on the counter-attack. But I'm happy, the team played well, the three in attack combined well. "I had a word at halftime because the game wasn't over. It's normal when you're 2-0 up and the game controlled, you can run less, you think it's simple.

"The least we can do for them is make them proud, to show our form of strong competition and I think there will be a lot of proud Shakhtar fans tonight given how we played and how we stayed in this match. Madrid had opened with a 3-0 win at Celtic and a 2-0 victory against Leipzig. The Brazilian then set up Vincius' 28th-minute goal with a nice pass into the middle of the area. The result at the Santiago Bernabu Stadium gave Madrid a five-point lead over Shakhtar, which started the match with 11 Ukrainian players. It was a match to win 7-1, but sometimes it's like that, Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos said. It's hard to believe it was only 2-1, but in the end we got the three points that we wanted.

Real Madrid star Rodrygo has jokingly hit out at Panini for excluding him from the Brazil squad in their World Cup sticker album.

Rodrygo was instrumental in Real Madrid's 2021-22 Champions League triumph and starred in the competition again on Tuesday, grabbing a goal But I have to work because the competition is very high and I know that if I make a mistake the chance of staying is very great. Rodrygo was left out of Brazil's squad in Panini's renowned World Cup sticker album ahead of the 2022 tournament in Qatar.

Real Madrid want Erling Haaland, Nottingham Forest could sack Steve Cooper, LA Galaxy could sign Luis Suarez, and Jurgen Klopp missed out on Martin ...

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola dismissed reports of a release clause in Erling Haalands contract after Manchester Citys 5-0 rout of FC Copenhagen.

"This is why this season and in previous seasons, with important players, we are there every three days. "It is not about resting players," Guardiola said. "Erling wants the same as all of us - to win the game," Guardiola said. The work ethic in training, everybody is focused, everybody pays attention. "He made the hat-tricks to win those games. "Of course Cole Palmer is an excellent player, I'm looking forward to him playing.

Real Madrid have been linked with a move for Erling Haaland in recent times after his incredible start at Manchester City.

He is scoring for fun at Manchester City and is almost guaranteed to compete for four trophies every season. Every time Erling Haaland takes to the pitch, Real Madrid fans wonder why the club did not push for him in the summer. Of course, that had led to the Norwegian superstar being linked with a move to Real Madrid.

Wayward finishing put a dampener on a superb Real Madrid performance against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

Ancelotti looks to have found another effective system to use moving forward but how concerned will he have been by his team’s inability to kill off their opponents? His finishing, though, didn’t quite match that, with eight shots leading to a grand total of zero goals. Real Madrid continued their perfect start to the 2022-23 Champions League with another victory against Shakhtar Donetsk at the Santiago Bernabéu. Los Blancos put in a stellar performance – rated by many as their best of the season so far – while deploying a 4-4-2 system, the first time they have ventured away from 4-3-3 this term. At least a couple more should really have rippled the net. A strange thing to say, perhaps, given that both Rodrygo and Vinícius netted what proved to be decisive goals.

Gareth Bale at Real Madrid would not have been a possibility if Neymar had opted to play for the Whites. If Neymar had decided to join Real Madrid’s youth academy on that day in 2006, he would not only have transformed the club’s dynamics, but the club would have turned him into a new player as well. A fair value tendency would have prevailed in the market as it had previously, and Paris Saint-Germain’s conduct would not have occurred. Neymar would have made history if he accepted to play for Real Madrid in the future. If Neymar had merely stayed, the dynamics of the game would not have changed at all. What if he never went to Barcelona and instead climbed to the Brazilian throne at Real Madrid?

The Manchester City manager denied reports about his striker's contract but admitted Kyle Walker's abdominal injury could rule him out of the World Cup.

Haaland was substituted at half‑time to preserve him for a hectic fixture period in the buildup to the World Cup, which starts in six weeks. Walker’s absence would leave Southgate with a significant hole in his defence to fill. “It’s not true,” he said.
