After a night of trying his best on the court, seeing Rudiger’s penalty kick sealing his place in the Champions League semi-finals, his tired body suddenly changed. Some hugged the goalscorer, others hugged the man who prevented City’s two penalties, but everyone ran away – except their hero goalkeeper. Instead of celebrating enthusiastically, Andrei Lunin calmly walked back to the center of the court, clearly unfazed. Heading in the opposite direction, towards where more than 3,000 Madrid fans had gathered. Upon arriving in the away area, the England midfielder jumped on his seat to hug and sing with them – and he wasn’t alone. Ancelotti’s team plays hard and they celebrate hard. Madrid are in the semi-finals again – for the 12th time in 14 years. They did it a total of 33 times. The most successful club in European Cup/Champions League history with 14 trophies to date, Manchester City, who beat them last season, are their latest victim. How did they do it? For coach Carlo Ancelotti, it’s all about survival。
