‘We haven’t played well’ – Ancelotti gives verdict on Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw vs Shakhtar

A stoppage time goal from Antonio Rudiger secured a 1-1 draw for Real Madrid against Shakhtar Donetsk away at Warsaw on Tuesday night.

After a goalless first-half, Zubkov gave Shakhtar Donetsk the lead just a minute after half-time. Rudiger, at great personal damage to his nose, rose up to head home the added time equaliser. 

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti admitted after the game that Real Madrid didn’t play well enough against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Ancelotti said: “We haven’t played well but this team never gives up. We qualified for the round of 16 on a night that looked bad and that’s a good thing.”
