Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid had a quieter game during the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg match between FC Bayern München and Real Madrid at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Despite scoring late winners for Real this season, he was substituted by Ancelotti with 15 minutes to go due to cramps. Ancelotti acknowledged that Bellingham and the team were not performing at their best, and critiqued their display after a slow start to the encounter. He commented on the team’s lack of intensity in the first half and their improvement prospects for the next week.
He also noted the danger posed by Bayern and their strong performance, emphasizing the need for the team to defend with more intensity.
