“We're playing a great team and we have a small advantage from the first leg, but we have to enjoy it”, added the Whites' coach in the Allianz Arena press room.
“We have the chance to make history and we're not going to miss out. We will give our last breath for the team to make it to Lisbon", said members of the Peña La Clásica.
“We are very focused and we're going to give everything to win“, added the French striker.
“At this stage of the competition the psychological aspect is more important than tactics”, the Real Madrid manager revealed in an interview with the 'Champions' magazine.
Benzema's goal and a solid performance from Ancelotti's men were key to the victory over Bayern.
Real Madrid have beaten their record of goals scored away from home in the European Cup.
The Portuguese player has scored in every match in the final stages of the European competition in the last three seasons.
Real Madrid will be looking to make the most of their 1-0 advantage over Bayern in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final at the Allianz Arena, and be the first team through to the final of this season's competition.
“We're excited, we have no doubts about what we can do and against Bayern we have to take that confidence to the pitch”, stated the Whites player.
Thousands of people welcomed the team to their hotel in the German city.
“In the match against Munich we'll see who the best team is and who makes the fewest mistakes”, stated Real Madrid's defender.
