Real coach Carlo Ancelotti believes that his team undeservedly lost to Barcelona in the first semi-final match of the Spanish King's Cup.

Barcelona won 1:0 last night after Militao's own goal.

"It is encouraging how we played. Of course, we are not satisfied with the result, but if we play like this in the second leg, then we will go through to the final. This result is not realistic. Barcelona did not do anything in front of our goal, they were lucky with the goal. We played a good game. We were often successful in pressing, but it was difficult to find space, because their defense was very solid," said Ancelotti after the match.

The Italian believes that this is one of Real's better games.

"We played the way we wanted to and we have to do it again. We came into the game well and finished it well, and they scored after our mistake, an incorrect pass. This was one of our best games in terms of pressing and defending, and "Barcelona will not defend like this at home. We just have to repeat what we did, this approach," Ancelotti believes.
