Davide Ancelotti revealed in the mixed zone after the game against Manchester City, how it was decided who would take the penalty kicks in the decisive round.

"When there were four or five minutes left, I started to think. Jude is a shooter. Luka is a shooter. Lucas is a very good shooter. Nacho had experience and personality, and in training we had seen that he was determined to do... And Antonio is a player with eggs," Davide explained. "Federico was going to be the fifth, but he told me that he was very tired, and he was actually dead, so we decided that Rüdiger would take. The decision of the shooter is up to the coaching staff."

For his part, Carlo Ancelotti stated in the mixed zone that there was another player who asked him not to shoot: Eder Militao. The reason he gave him was that Ederson, Manchester City's Brazilian goalkeeper, knows him too well and could guess where he would shoot.
