MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Real Madrid will need to rely on more than individual talent to overcome Manchester City in their Champions League semi-final second leg, manager Carlo Ancelotti said as his side aim for a record-extending 15th European Cup title.
Real have won five Champions League trophies in the last decade, three with Zinedine Zidane and two with Ancelotti, including last season when they beat City in the semis with a 6-5 aggregate win.
Ancelotti, who has won the Champions League a record four times as a coach at AC Milan and Real, warned his players not to be complacent against their opponents at the Etihad on Wednesday. "It's not easy to explain , but I think the Champions League is special for Real Madrid because of the history. It's the first five European Cups Real won and how that history still lives today.""Tomorrow won't be that different from the first leg," Ancelotti added.
