Real Madrid are still in contention to win every possible trophy this season and manager Carlo Ancelotti likes that.
The Italian is ready for tonight’s confrontation with Barcelona, in the first “El Clasico” of the semifinals of the Copa del Rey.
The coach of “Los Blancos” believes that his team can triumph in “Santiago Bernabeu”, but in the meantime he has maximum respect for the permanent rival.
“At the moment, we have two points less in the championship than last season in the same period. But, at that time we had not reached the semi-finals of the Cup and we had lost the first game of the eighth round of the Champions League. We are where we deserve to be and now comes the beauty, the important moment of the season. I think we can still win trophies, but I’m not a magician,” declared Ancelotti.
“As for the Copa del Rey, in the initial stages the starters are not placed on the field. But when it comes to this point… It’s not a very important race until you get to the semi-finals. After that, everything changes”, concluded the coach of Real Madrid.
Tonight’s “El Clasico” will start at 21:00.
