Ancelotti’s words before Atlético Madrid!

Zapping World Eleven TOP 10: The most profitable transfers in history

Before playing their seventeenth Champions League final against Liverpool on May 28, Real Madrid still have four La Liga games to play, to prepare as well as possible for the Stade de France.

On the eve of a perilous trip to rivals Atlético Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti appeared at a press conference. In addition to the stunning C1 semi-final against Manchester City (3-1), the Merengue coach also mentioned the adjustments to his starting lineup at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Here are the best statements from the Italian technician, relayed by the “Madrid Xtra” Twitter account.

The goalkeeper against Atlético Madrid

“Lunin will start tomorrow. Courtois will rest.”

Eden Hazard

“Hazard will start training with the squad next week.”

Gareth Bale

“Bale? All the players love him and Bale loves them. He can’t train because of his bad back, he can’t even move.”

Atletico Madrid

“These La Liga games are important for us because we can keep our rhythm. We respect the competition and this club. (…) We respect Atletico Madrid a lot, if they don’t we will respect them anyway . “

The current team

“I have never had a season like this. If we win the Champions League, it will be the best season of my career.”

Dani Carvajal

“Carvajal suffered a lot because of his injuries but he is a fundamental player for us. He never gave up. Carvajal is helping us a lot now.”

Dani Ceballos

“Ceballos? I’ve spoken with him and he knows what I think of him, the club knows that too. Now he has to decide what’s best for his career. If he stays, I’ll be happy.”
