Ancelotti said afterwards: "It's a very important win; not everyone wins here. We suffered and competed.
"In the Champions League, you have to suffer. They were pushing, but we started well in the second half. We are very happy. It was a very positive win for us, not just for the points gained.
"It's still difficult to finish in the top eight, but we have two games left to earn points."
