Carlo Ancelotti: "We stuck to the same ideas and everything worked out"

Carlo Ancelotti was delighted with the manner of his side's performance as they beat Barcelona after slipping behind to Neymar's early goal.

"I have really focused players that know how to sacrifice themselves for the team," the Italian said.

He went on to say that the key for the comeback had been staying true to their style of play.

"We've continued with our idea and everything worked out well," he continued.

"We've maitained the same ideas that we've played with all season; we've kept possession and we've not just played on the counter.

"Everyone played at a really high level, which isn't easy after a Champions League match against Liverpool.

"That shows that we are in a great state physically."

Isco was one of the Los Blancos' most impressive players, but Ancelotti refused to single out individuals.

"To beat Barça you need the efforts and strengths of everyone," he added. 

"Not just, Isco, everyone."
