Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said his side were "fortunate" to
advance to the Champions League semifinals after a 2-0 defeat to
Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
Los Blancos squeaked through to the last four by a 3-2 aggregate score.
"We're happy to reach the semis, but not happy as we suffered a lot,"
Ancelotti said. "Especially in the first half. We opened the tie up
again.
"We were better in the second half. Football is like that, we gave away
gifts, lots of errors, no confidence, and we suffered because of it."
Ancelotti praised his goalkeeper after Iker Casillas made key stops on
shots from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Kevin Grosskreutz in the closing
moments.
