Madrid to eliminate City not because of fitness, but because of attitude, says Ancelotti

Madrid passed their visit to Son Moix with flying colours. Tchouameni, who will not be in Manchester next Wednesday for the decisive clash against City in the Champions League, scored the only goal in the 1-0 win over Mallorca.
Ancelotti, already in the press room, said that he expected a "complicated game" against Mallorca due to the commitment of Javier Aguirre's players.
The Italian coach saw his team slow in the first half, but in the second he said they showed a "very high level" in a match he described as "very demanding".
On the numerous chances missed by his players, Ancelotti commented that if you don't score, the opponent ends up "punishing you", although "fortunately" this time it wasn't like that, also because Madrid were "very solid at the back".
The Italian coach highlighted his team's "fight" and commitment on Saturday, just a few days away from deciding their Champions League future against City.
On Vinicius' substitution in the second half and the boos he received from the crowd, the Madrid coach said that he "knew" that the atmosphere at Son Moix would be "very special for him".

Despite everything, the Brazilian winger's play has been "very threatening" and he has "faced up" to the opponents. "He has done very well," he said.
On Wednesday's game, Ancelotti said that his team "arrived well", at a very good physical level, and that the introduction of new players in the starting eleven was intended to motivate them. The result has been that "they have delivered", he added.
Regarding the greetings and the conversation he had on the pitch with 'Vasco' Aguirre, at the start and end of the match, the Italian said that he has "a lot of affection and respect" for him. Ancelotti praised the work of the Mexican and highlighted the "extraordinary commitment" of all his players.
He also assured that his team is "very good physically", but that Madrid will win next Wednesday's game against City at the Etihad Stadium if they have "attitude".
Ancelotti insisted on the importance of "attitude" because Guardiola's side are also a "very strong" team from a physical point of view
