Although Real Madrid also achieved a 3-goal advantage for the second round of the Champions League round of 16, Ancelotti does not take all this for granted, and believes that Liverpool will "suffer" them at the Bernabéu. Ancelotti said, "This is just part of the knockout round. We are on the right track, but we also need to accept the challenge in the second leg. Liverpool is a great team. They made us suffer in the first half, so I think That being said, unfortunately, the game is not over."
