Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, is trying to figure out how to motivate his players to perform better so they can defeat Bayern Munich on Wednesday and advance to the Champions League final. After last week’s 2-2 semi-final first leg stalemate in Bavaria, the Italian acknowledged that Real was not at their best every time, even if they did manage to secure a respectable result with the German powerhouses mostly in the lead. Madrid entered the game fresh off their 3-0 La Liga victory against Cadiz on Saturday, but they had postponed their celebrations in order to focus on the second leg of the Champions League.
Los Blancos players reported for training on Sunday morning and the players did not join fans at Plaza Cibeles, where they would usually party together after earning major titles.
Record 14-time Champions League winners Real Madrid instead had their sights firmly set on extending their European domination.

Goalkeeper & Defence
- Andriy Lunin (7/10):
Made some neat saves to keep out the visitors. Couldn’t get anywhere near Davies’ fine strike.
- Dani Carvajal (7/10):
Struggled against Davies in the second half, but was good on the ball.
- Antonio Rudiger (8/10):
Kept Kane reasonably quiet, and assisted Joselu’s winner.
- Nacho (7/10):
Played a key pass in the build up to the winner, and did OK defensively.
- Ferland Mendy (8/10):
Had Sane on straps, and fed Vinicius all night long. A clinic in full-back play.
