Real Madrid will have to upset the odds in order to reach another Champions League final, with Manchester City standing in their way, and Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that nobody predicted that either his team or Villarreal would reach the semi-final stage.

Unai Emery has masterminded Villarreal's route to the semi-final, defeating Bayern Munich in the quarter-final, whist Los Blancos have been able to eliminate both Paris Saint-Germain and the defending champions, Chelsea.

"There are two teams in the semi-finals that nobody believed would get here, Real Madrid and Villarreal," Ancelotti declared in his pre-match press conference.

"I remember what was said at the time, the press and public opinion.

"We got here and we're very happy, Real Madrid will always compete."




Limiting Real Madrid's injuries
Ancelotti is aware of the excellence in City's team, yet whilst facing a number of mounting injuries, Los Blancos could look to merely survive in the first-leg.

"We're not going to decide the tie tomorrow," he added.

"It will be decided at the Bernabeu, the question I have is whether to bet on three strikers or two.

"Rodrygo is doing well, Camavinga did very well and both have brought a lot of energy."
