Real Madrid coach Ancelotti on Bayern Munich: When you don't have support better to leave

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says they must be at their best against Bayern Munich.

Real will host the second-leg of their Champions League semifinal tomorrow with the score locked at 2-2.

Ancelotti said: "We must try to get the best out of it. We have a great illusion because we have a great opportunity to come to a final again considering the difficulties, which are many. We are very well, motivated and we will try to do very well.

"We found a game (in the first-leg) with intensity, rhythm at an offensive and defensive level, which we could do better on the way out, and control the game. We need an intense match.

"We are similar, they have a great tradition and history. We respect each other, it's only fair that it be so. Also, they did better than us in the first-leg.

"We are not optimistic, we are only excited. It can be another magical night. We know of the difficulties that we are going to encounter."

On Andriy Lunin starting ahead of Thibaut Courtois, Ancelotti said: "He (Courtois) was fine and that's why he played (against Cadiz). Now he will have to take your time to reach his best version. The plan has not changed."

On his time with Bayern, he added: "You have to have the support of the club and when this fails it is better to separate, as it happened. I have a great relationship with everyone, but this is work. When you don't have the support of the club it is better to go and avoid problems."
