Ancelotti responds to Bayern's complaints: "Kimmich dived in Nacho's disallowed goal"

Another great night for Real Madrid. A great European night at the Bernabeu that ended with the qualification for the Champions League final after beating Bayern Munich. The 'Merengues' coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared in the press room and gave his first thoughts on the matter after the qualification.

"It's happened again. A fantastic pitch, players who never stop believing. It's something magical. We played well. It was difficult. We had good control of the match and then we had the strength not to lose our heads. We have to thank the fans and the club and to the players, because they have had a season that nobody expected. Neither did I. Reaching the final is a success, whatever happens. If I think about the days to get to the final, we'll have a great time. We will celebrate La Liga. I ask to celebrate to go to Cibeles. Happiness infects the atmosphere and the players", he began.

However, the Italian coach responded to Tuchel's criticism of the referee: "The last play is quite clear. It might have been offside. And we stopped. He's a top level referee. Bayern complained about the offside? Ok, so we complain about the cancelled goal of Nacho… because Kimmich dived.

Ancelotti praised 'Los Blancos' president Florentino Perez: "There is a captain here and his name is Florentino Perez. The rest of us are sailors. He has been able to create this wonderful generation of players and hopefully we can win another Champions League.
