Mijatovic Compares Real Madrid to a Bull and Issues a Surprising Warning

The Champions League is just a few hours away from returning after its league phase. In the most exciting play-off match, Real Madrid will face Manchester City. Given the magnitude of this match, Pedja Mijatovic, a former Real Madrid player, issued a strong and unexpected warning.

"Real Madrid is a different bull, it's hard to arrive, but leaving is very easy," were his words. Through this, Mijatovic praised the excellent work Carlo Ancelotti has done with the team. Recognizing that being Real Madrid's coach is not an easy task, Mijatovic highlighted the great management the Italian has had.

"Carlo has a style that's not so aggressive...but with his intelligence and goodwill, he manages to motivate the players." These words have served as a clear warning to Manchester City. Despite having Guardiola as a coach, Ancelotti has proven to be better during his two tenures at Real Madrid.

Mijatovic's Words

The people best qualified to speak about Real Madrid are those who were part of the team. Mijatovic, who spent three seasons with the team, knows perfectly well the pressure and tension that is experienced. It is because of this that his recent words served to demonstrate Ancelotti's mastery and calmness.

Even with the criticism he has received, the Italian coach has always been able to respond with great results and by winning titles. In Mijatovic's own words: "If you know how to live with the pressure, you have a great time at Madrid."

This has been nothing more than a clear compliment to Ancelotti's excellent work and a warning to Manchester City. Having to face a coach who has withstood the pressure of two tenures at Real Madrid, the English are facing a tough match.

The Moment of Truth

Being just a few hours away from the start of this match, Real Madrid is ready to prove it is the best team. Aware that victory means their passage to the round of 16, the club will present itself with every intention of winning.
