Tuesday night’s Champions League semi-final clash was seen as a huge battle between two of the finest young players – Vinicius Jr and Erling Haaland.

At the end, it was Vinicius who got tongues wagging with a fine shot from distance.

On Vinicius Junior’s goal, Ancelotti said: “Yeah a great strike, a fantastic moment. The team played well. I am satisfied.”

Antonio Rudiger was tasked with marking Erling Haaland in Tuesday night’s Champions League clash.

Haaland didn’t have a sniff of goal all game, and Rudiger did a fine job. Carlo Ancelotti praised Rudiger for his fine performance against Haaland.

On defensive performance and Antonio Rudiger keeping Erling Haaland quiet, Ancelotti said: “Defensively we were good. Rudiger against Haaland did well and the midfield had control.

“The performance was good and we are happy. We have strong motivation for the next game.”
