MADRID
\nCarlo Ancelotti has revealed which formation Real Madrid will use in the Champions League final against Liverpool and says his side must put pressure on their opponents.
\nMadrid will face the Premier League side at the Stade de France on May 28.
\nThe Italian coach says his side will line up in a similar shape to that which they have used for most of the current season.
\nThe Spanish giants will look to put their rivals under pressure when the two teams meet in the final this month.
\nAncelotti said at a press conference: \u201c[We will use a] 4-3-3 that will sometimes change to a 4-4-2.
\n\u201cI think there is no defined system. Sometimes to put pressure on the pivot, as we did against Manchester City, you go from 4-3-3 to 4-4-1-1.
\n\u201cThe idea does not change much, just a little the way of defending the opponent, of putting pressure on them.\u201d
\nThe Spanish giants are in with a chance of winning the European and domestic double this season, having already won La Liga.
\nThe Santiago Bernabeu team edged past Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City in the knockout rounds of the Champions League to reach the final.
\nAncelotti\u2019s team had to pull fight their way back into each tie after falling behind.
\nThey trailed PSG by one goal heading into the second leg of the last-16 tie but managed to secure a 3-1 win at the Santiago Bernabeu.
\nDespite beating Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge, Madrid came close to being eliminated as Chelsea managed to force the tie into extra time, only for the Spanish side to secure the victory.
\nThen against City they were 4-3 down from the first leg but two late goals in the second leg took them into extra time, where Karim Benzema fired in a penalty to book a spot in the final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
