Karim Benzema says that Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti won the tactical battle of minds with Bayern Munich counterpart Pep Guardiola in Wednesday’s Champions League semifinal first leg. Bayern dominated possession over the 90 minutes at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, but struggled to break down a well-organised Madrid side who were happy to see their opponents pass the ball sideways and backwards in front of them. Benzema scored with Madrid’s first chance, and Ancelotti’s side could have even taken a bigger advantage ahead of the return game with Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria missing decent opportunities. The France international told AS that Ancelotti’s instructions to wait out spells of Bayern possession and then hit quickly on the break had worked perfectly.
