And the hosts were extremely unlucky not to snatch a point as Alberto Bueno struck the post and saw another effort fly inches wide of Diego Lopez’s far post. Despite eventually running out 7-3 winners, Real had also let Sevilla score two quick goals after going 3-0 ahead on Wednesday.
And Ancelotti wants his side to be more ruthless once they get into a winning position.u00a0“Against Sevilla we were 3-0 up and let them back into the game. Today the same thing happened and that is not a coincidence,” he said.
