Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>After another magical night at their Santiago Bernabeu stadium, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti put their incredible run to the Champions League final down to a never-say-die attitude that is part of the club\u2019s fabric.<\/p>\n

Real were on the brink of elimination against Manchester City on Wednesday, but fought back to win 3-1 after extra time and 6-5 on aggregate in an enthralling semi-final.<\/p>\n

It was the third consecutive time they had come from behind in this season\u2019s knockout stage, following previous fightbacks against Paris St Germain and Chelsea, to stay on course to win Europe\u2019s elite club competition for the fifth time in the last nine years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe greatness of this club is this. It is a club that does not allow you to lower your arms when it seems that everything is over,\u201d Ancelotti told Movistar Plus in his usual calm manner.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a feeling that gives you the strength to continue, to continue to believe… We played a match against a very strong rival, solid, competitive… When everything seemed to be over, we looked for the last bit of energy to match it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you equalise in the last minutes you have a psychological advantage. You enter another dynamic and in front of our fans that is fatal to the visitors. We eliminated three teams capable of winning the title. It has been a success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brazilian midfielder Casemiro said the club enjoyed a major confidence boost from clinching the La Liga title on Saturday and celebrating with their fans for the first time since the end of the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have spent two years without contact with our fans, we need to enjoy them because they are the ones who give us energy to play like we did tonight,\u201d Casemiro said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe great virtue of this club is never giving up fighting until the end. It\u2019s in our anthem: \u2018Until the end we go, Real!\u2019 That is our spirit, never surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n

Real will now face Liverpool in the final in Paris on May 28. Casemiro, who was part of the team that won the 2018 Champions League final against Liverpool in Kyiv, thinks beating the Premier League side will be \u201ca complicated task\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ancelotti agreed, heaping praise on an opponent that he knows well from his time spent in charge of Everton.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very happy to participate in another final against a great team, I played against them as a player and as a coach. I\u2019ve lived in Liverpool for two years, for me it\u2019s like a derby, I\u2019m still an \u2018Evertonian\u2019 so it feels personal to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
