Carlo Ancelotti claims Pep Guardiola cannot really think Manchester City have only a “one per cent” chance of turning their Champions League tie against Real Madrid around.
Jude Bellingham scored Real’s late winner in the first encounter as the Spanish giants scored twice in the closing minutes to snatch a late victory.
City boss Guardiola said at the weekend his side’s hopes of fighting back in the second leg of their play-off at the Bernabeu Stadium on Wednesday, after losing 3-2 to the holders in Manchester, were that slim.
“He doesn’t really think so,” said Real coach Ancelotti at a press conference.
Since then Bellingham has been embroiled in controversy after being sent off for foul and abusive language in the champions’ 1-1 LaLiga draw at Osasuna on Saturday.
