(Reuters) - Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said on Monday that his side will not make the mistake of looking past Bayern Munich in their Champions League semi-final, first leg in Germany on Tuesday despite their rivals' disappointing domestic campaign.

Bayer Leverkusen ended the Bavarians' 11-year Bundesliga reign by securing the league crown two weeks ago but Ancelotti said European pedigree matters and the six-times winners will have extra motivation to win the last trophy they can fight for.
