Real Madrid were 2-0 down just inside 14 minutes of Champions League clash against Liverpool at Anfield.

Many would have thought that Madrid would collapse after conceding the second goal, but club boss Carlo Ancelotti revealed that he remembered the comeback victory against Manchester City last season, and it aided his side to produce a 5-2 comeback victory.

“We have taken advantage after 90 minutes,” said Ancelotti. “We now have to manage and control what happened in the second leg in Madrid.

“Liverpool are a very competitive team and created a lot of problem for us at the start of the game and we have to think the same again, they will make us suffer in moments. It is not all over. I can’t say the tie is decided yet.

“What was I thinking at 2-0 down? I remembered Manchester City in the semi-final last season. We improved in that game. I was hoping the same thing might happen and we’ve done even better than that. It wasn’t unpredictable, the start. We knew we would come under pressure.”
