The victory came a week after a shock 2-1 defeat at Nice in Ligue 1 for the title favourites.

"This is another great win after the one against Porto", said Ancelotti. "The players showed a good attitude and the team did a good job."

"The key to the game was to show the same face that we showed in the Champions League.

"We started well, with a lot of intensity, and after the first goal it got a lot easier."
