Carlo Ancelotti, manager of Real Madrid, has issued a warning to Chelsea ahead of their Champions League quarterfinal first-leg matchup on Wednesday night at Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid’s 3-2 La Liga loss to Villarreal on Saturday, according to Ancelotti, won’t have an impact on his team’s confidence when they play Chelsea in the Champions League knockout round.

The Italian stood by as Villarreal defeated Real Madrid thanks to goals from Jose Luis Morales and Samuel Chukwueze, who scored twice.

“With regard to the Champions League, this defeat [Real Madrid’s 3-2 loss to Villarreal] won’t affect our confidence for Wednesday’s game [against Chelsea], which will be different,” Ancelotti said at his post-match press conference.

“I may use the same eleven from Camp Nou. Today I rotated a lot of players because the match against Barcelona took a lot out of us physically and mentally,” he added.
