Real Madrid faces a tough challenge tomorrow at the Bernabeu: overturning a 3-0 defeat against Arsenal in the first leg and advancing to the Champions League semifinals.

Ancelotti emphasized the importance of mental strength, saying his players are ready. He admitted that a comeback is uncertain but assured that his team will give their all.

Will tomorrow’s match affect your future, Mr. Ancelotti?
Does tomorrow’s game and its result affect my future? I don’t think so.

Message to the fans?
Fan support is crucial. In recent years, they’ve helped us a lot. Tomorrow, we’ll try to turn the tie around, even though it’s a tough task.

Many fans don’t believe in a dream comeback
Tomorrow, we’ll try to change that mindset. We’ll play seriously, with our minds and souls, just like Carlos Alcaraz did. We’re mentally strong and must control the game well.

You don’t play beautifully. Do you think you’ll succeed?
We have commitment, experience, great players, and top fans. Last season, nobody said we played beautifully, but we still won. Tomorrow, we’ll aim to be effective.

Will Real Madrid have a special strategy against Arsenal?
I want to clearly convey the strategy to the players. We’ve thought a lot about it and practiced it. Tomorrow, they’ll enter the pitch knowing exactly what to do.

Any special winning card?
No, nothing special. We’ll try to play powerfully.

How do you mentally prepare the players?
I talked to them about the importance of mentality. They’re motivated, but I want them to stay calm too.

Do you believe in a comeback?
We believe in ourselves. The only uncertainty is whether we can overturn the result, but we’ll give everything.

Mbappe’s red card after a strange foul in the last game?
Mbappe was very upset. He trained well yesterday and is motivated. We need Kylian because we must not only defend but also score. Tomorrow, we need his goals.

You once said some players run, others make a difference. Which do you need tomorrow?
We need both—quality football and team spirit. Neither aspect should be lacking.

Thoughts on Arsenal?
Arsenal is a very organized team. They may lack experience, but they have a clear idea of their style, both in defense and attack.

Is scoring early the key to victory and a comeback?
I doubt it’s decisive. Scoring early is important, but controlling the game from the first minute is crucial.
