What Real Madrid journalist spotted Carlo Ancelotti doing to motivate his players ahead of Arsenal clash in Champions League

Carlo Ancelotti has been preparing his Real Madrid team for the major task of overturning a 3-0 deficit in the Champions League second-leg match against Arsenal.

The Gunners whipped the floor with Los Blancos at the Emirates as Declan Rice’s two sensational free-kicks and Merino’s strike gave them a three-goal buffer.

Kylian Mbappe and Vinicus Jr were kept quiet by Arsenal and Madrid’s attack cannot afford a repeat of the performance in North London.

Ahead of the mountain which awaits them at the Santiago Bernabeu, Ancelotti has been making sure he players are mentally ready for the clash.

Carlo Ancelotti’s animated meeting with Real Madrid’s squad ahead of Arsenal

Carlo Ancelotti had a rather animated meeting with his Real Madrid squad ahead of facing Arsenal in the Champions League, according to .

The Italian coach spent 10 minutes ahead of their training session, demanding commitment and extra effort on Wednesday.

The former AC Milan and Bayern Munich manager became rather energetic during the meeting and ended up raising his voice to the squad in a bid to avoid a repeat of the first-leg.

Ancelotti’s job will come under real threat if Madrid lose to Arsenal, therefore, there is more than just quakifaction riding on Wednesday’s match.

Madrid have scored four goals in a single game on eight occasions this season and this is something they must do again against Mikel Arteta’s side.

But that will be much easier said than done as Arsenal have not conceded three goals in one match for over a year and boasts one of the best defences in Europe.
