The tension at the peak of La Liga is culminating when Real Madrid prepares to welcome Barca in the El Clasico match on Sunday this weekend. For head coach Carlo Ancelotti, this match may not decide the title of mathematics, but it may determine the results of the season.
“It will be a great opportunity. We will prepare well,” Ancelotti said at the press conference. “I didn’t say it was decisive, but it was very close. If we won, we would be only 1 point behind. The tournament is still in Barca, but we will have more opportunities if we win this match.”
Only a few rounds left, the super classic match will shape the rest of the campaign. Real Madrid, the team is still maintaining about 4 points less and they enter the competition with strong performance and some key players are playing well.
All eyes will focus on Kylian Mbappe, who is increasingly comfortable in Ancelotti’s system and is expected to play an important role in front of the Barca squad that tends to defend with the rising defense.
“Mbappe will be very important, very important in this match,” coach Ancelotti said. “With Barca’s defense, his movement in the back will be the key. The more he does, the more we are beneficial.”
The French star has made a difference in some big matches this season, and his speed and finishing ability can play a decisive role for Real Madrid, especially in quick counterattacks. The double goal of the French star in a 3-2 victory over Celta Vigo last Sunday night was the most obvious evidence that the ability to accelerate to end the opponent from the speed of the ball.
The El Clasico match will take place at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Company, Barca’s home field and it will be a difficulty for the guests. However, this is also the place where Ancelotti’s team has shown calm and quality. For players like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr. And Mbappe is present, Los Blancos seems to be ready to reclaim all the debt since the beginning of the season.
