Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti insists their Champions League tie isn't over despite their stunning win at Liverpool.

Real were 2-0 down inside 14 minutes but fought back to win 5-2 in the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie.

Ancelotti said, "This is only the first part of a knockout tight, it's gone our way, but we'll need to imagine that in the second leg we'll have to suffer and work hard.

"Obviously we didn't expect to start like we did but at 2-0 down I thought about the City away leg last year in the hope that we could do the same - but it turned out even better. They were doing us damage down our left but when we were better in our attacks, we moved Valverde a little bit towards that danger and we then defended better.

"Liverpool is a great team which made us suffer in the first half so I'd say that, unfortunately, this tie isn't finished. No way. I want to praise Rodrygo because he did incredible work up and down the pitch producing just what I'd asked of him.

"I think that, right now, Vinícius Júnior is the most decisive player anywhere in the world - the one who determines matches most on a consistent basis."
