If he answered Mauricio Pochettino about the future of Kylian Mbappé, Carlo Ancelotti, present at a press conference this Friday, spoke above all of the possible title of Spanish champion of Real Madrid.

While it will only take one point for Meringue against Espanyol Barcelona tomorrow (4:15 p.m.), to be crowned, the Italian technician spoke about the state of mind of his troops. Here are his best statements, relayed by the Madrid Xtra Twitter account:

The title of champion

“We know that we are very close to winning a title tomorrow but we have to take a point because it’s not over yet. (…)” Celebrating tomorrow? We haven’t thought about it yet but if we win, we will of course celebrate. “

Benzema and Vinicius at rest?

“Vinicius and Benzema? They can rest tomorrow yes, but if a player is well he will play. I will bench players who are tired and not because tomorrow is an easier game.”

David Alaba’s injury

“Alaba suffered from the same abductor problem he suffered last week. I don’t know if he will play against City, we have to wait until Tuesday.”

Real Madrid’s attacking strength

“A lot of goals? Benzema is having an incredible season, Vinicius has improved, Asensio has scored a lot of goals, Modrić and Kroos have scored, Casemiro, Rodrygo… we have improved.”

?| Ancelotti: “I usually talk to my players to know how they feel but at the end I always decide who will play. The player’s opinion is important but not the most important.”
