Speaking to the media, the Italian coach admitted he had a specific window for the 34-year-old to enter the fray. "We were waiting for Neymar for extra time. I spoke with him, he would have come in in the 60th or 65th minute. We equalised the game, and I didn't want to change the structure because the team had control of the game," Ancelotti explained on the pitch.
