After the win against Belgian side Genk, Ancelotti praised his side despite their recent struggles.
He said: “The qualification is deserved, this team has quality.
“In the Champions League we always behaved very well in a not easy group. It’s a pity we didn’t have the same performance in the league.
“In the international arena we showed mentality and courage, something that has not succeeded in Serie A so far.
“The fact remains that when we express ourselves as a fact in the Champions League we can compete against anyone even in Europe.”
