Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti shared his expectations for the La Liga match against Barcelona.
Carlo Ancelotti“The team is in good shape and motivated. 'El Clásico' is always very tough matches, but it’s a celebration of football, and we want to perform well in front of our fans. Barcelona is playing very well, they are a brave team, and we need to prepare well.
In such a confrontation, it’s hard to name a favorite. I don’t know who the favorite is. It will depend on the dynamics of the match. Anything can happen in this game. It largely depends on how we can handle the pressure, as well as on the moments. There will be moments when one team controls the situation, and then the other.
We need to prepare a clear and simple strategy. Before such a duel, there’s no need to talk too much, as everyone is motivated, focused, excited, and eager to play,” Ancelotti is quoted by the official Real Madrid website.
