UCL: Ancelotti identifies two very dangerous players in Real Madrid squad

Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti has identified Vinicius and Karim Benzema as the two ‘very dangerous’ players in his squad following the Los Blancos’ Champions League quarter-final 3-1 win over Chelsea on Wednesday.

Benzema and Vinicius were hugely impressed as Real Madrid defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Benzema scored a hat-trick against Thomas Tuchel’s side, as Kai Havertz’s goal was not enough for the Champions League holders.

“Before the game, Benzema was not able to find his pass to enter the stadium,” Ancelotti told Amazon Prime.

"I told him: ‘Be fast, or you can’t play!’. Then luckily, Karim found the pass.’

"Karim Benzema is getting better every day; just like a fine wine. He’s more of a leader every day, he feels more and more important in this team and this squad. And I think that’s what makes the difference.

“We were able to get between the lines and Vinicius and Karim Benzema were very dangerous. Both of them linked up very well,” he added.

The result against Southampton means Arsenal are now in the sixth position on the Premier League table with 54 points from 31 games. Speaking during his post-match press conference, Arteta said the Gunners lost against Southampton because his players failed to score against the host, adding that the opponent’s goalkeeper was also exceptional. "[It is] Difficult to explain [Why we lost against Southampton] because this is football, not basketball." "It’s decided in the boxes and for the amount of time we spent around their box we didn’t put them on the goal.” “They had an exceptional goalkeeper,” he added. Arsenal’s next game is against Chelsea on Wednesday. Source: DAILY POST
