“We’re talking about a team that, after drawing in the league’s inaugural game, went on to win all of its games. At a press conference, Ancelotti stated that the league’s form is excellent.
The coach, who guided Real Madrid to La Liga and the Champions League triumphs last season, continued, “Since the competition started, they have been doing a great job.
They had issues in the Champions League, as is typical for that competition, but they excelled there.
Ancelotti mentions his team’s loss against Barcelona with a clean four at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium last season, when he pushed the Croatian playmaker Luka Modric instead of the injured French striker Karim Benzema.
“It’s true that in the past, when trying to invent anything, they paid a price. However, the match from last season won’t matter to us because we are in a different season and classico. We are eager to compete in this game, which the entire world will watch, “based on Agence France-Presse.
Thibaut Courtois, the Belgian goalkeeper who had been sidelined by a sciatic nerve injury, has been cleared by Ancelotti to resume exercising, but he will not play in the El Clásico; meanwhile, German defender Antonio Rodiger is able to play using a protective mask.
Barcelona is on the verge of being eliminated from the Champions League after a 3-3 draw against Inter Italiano on Wednesday at home, but he will face Real Madrid on Sunday. Barcelona is currently ranked first after eight games without a loss, but only because Real Madrid has a better goal differential than Barcelona, and his net has only been rattled once this season.
Notably, Antonio Rodiger had a head injury when playing the Ukrainian team Shakhtar Danitzk in the Champions League when Rodiger scored in the last seconds and collided with the opponent’s goalkeeper.
Barcelona is “outstanding” in the League, according to Ancelotti and Clasico
