Ancelotti: We struggled but I can't be angry with Real

Added at:

Carlo Ancelotti appeared in the press room at Celtic Park to discuss Real Madrid's win in their opening Champions League game:

"The team played very well in the second half and I'm extremely satisfied. To be honest, the second half was an exhibition. We're leaving with a clean sheet but I'll take away how we played all round in the second half. We kept possession well and when we got some space, we used it brilliantly".

"We struggled but I can't be angry with the team. You're bound to struggle a bit here and we did in the first half because you have to dig in against this team. You have to do that at times and this team is capable of doing so without losing their heads. Celtic are a great team. There is a fantastic atmosphere in this stadium and it's an amazing experience to play here".
