Ancelotti: "Arda Guler has shown something special"

"It was to play a good game, with pace, avoid injuries, fight and everything went perfectly," said the Italian coach, who called the match "entertaining, with pace and intensity".

"It was an open game, with little balance, to play well and attack. It could be that we conceded more goals than necessary, but that's OK," insisted Ancelotti, who highlighted Arda Guler's performance.

"He has shown something special," he said of the Turk, who he sees playing close to the box "because he scores a lot of goals and has a special talent".

The Italian also gave a thumbs up to goalkeeper Lunin, who he said "couldn't do anything about the goals". "He was good with his feet and had a good game. The goals, obviously, are not his fault," he added.
