Ancelotti Disputes Guardiola's One Per Cent Claim

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed Pep Guardiola's claim that Manchester City have only a one per cent chance of overturning their Champions League deficit, suggesting the City boss was deliberately downplaying his team's chances.

Madrid hold a 3-2 advantage heading into Wednesdays second-leg clash at the Santiago Bernabeu, with City struggling domestically in fourth place in the Premier League.

However, after a dominant 4-0 victory over Newcastle on Saturday, Guardiola insisted that his side's odds of progressing past the 15-time European champions remained slim.

Ancelotti, however, wasn't convinced.

He does not truly think that tomorrow Ill ask him before the game-do you think youve got a one per cent chance? Ancelotti said in a press conference.
