Carlo Ancelotti defended Real Madrid's style of play in their penalty shootout win over Manchester City this week, and said he hasn't met "a single fan" who was unhappy with their progression to the Champions League semifinals.

The LaLiga giants eliminated City on penalties on Wednesday after the tie had finished 4-4 on aggregate, with Pep Guardiola's team dominating much of the second leg at the Etihad Stadium.

Madrid will now face Bayern Munich in the semifinals -- with the first leg on April 30 -- but first have to contend with a top-of-the-table Clasico clash with Barcelona in LaLiga on Sunday.
