“It is much more complicated now fighting for the league, but we have only one idea, do it well until the end, because there are still options, much less after this game, but you have to fight it until the end”
Ancelotti positively valued the offensive effort of his players, but was self -critical with defense performance. “We have done it well at the offensive level, at the defensive level you could do better,” The coach said.
Carlo Ancelotti also referred to the next challenge of the team: the Champions League clash against Arsenal. “The party against Arsenal will be different, I think they will attack more, we have to be more solid back, trying to have the same or better efficacy forward,” added.

Despite the frustration, Ancelotti’s message was of persistence. He insisted that there are still games to play and that his template has the ability to reverse the situation. “You have to fight it until the end,” he reiterated, faithful to his serene but firm style.
Madrid must maintain the focus on LaLiga without neglecting its path in the Champions League, and for this it will need to recover regularity and forcefulness, especially in the defensive line that so many headaches has caused in recent days.
With a final stretch of the intense season ahead, Real Madrid prepares for a fight on two fronts: saving its European path and keeping hope in the domestic league, although it no longer depends solely on its own results.
🗣️ Carlo Ancelotti: “We have done it well at the offensive level, at the defensive level it could be better, the ball recovery has lacked us.”
