Carlo Ancelotti hits back at Bernardo Silva after he called Real Madrid a 'weird team' following Manchester City's Champions League exit... as his side prepare for Bayern Munich clash

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has fired back at Manchester City star Bernardo Silva after he claimed the LaLiga side were a 'weird team' having dumped them out of the Champions League this month.

Reigning champions City were beaten 4-3 on penalties by Madrid after a 1-1 draw at the Etihad - with the score 4-4 on aggregate - despite the home side dominating much of the second leg.

City had beaten Madrid in the semi-finals of last year's competition - but lost to them at the same stage of the 2021-22 edition - and it led Silva to claim Madrid were a 'weird' side to play against because of their ability to create chances even if they are seemingly not having a good spell in the game.
