Carlo Ancelotti's warning to FC Barcelona minutes before El Clasico

Carlo Ancelotti analyzed the entire match against FC Barcelona, in fact, he commented on several phrases that could be interpreted as "hidden" warnings for FC Barcelona: “It's just an important match that's worth three points. It is worth a lot in the dynamics of a team because winning a classic is very important for the fans and for everyone, but at the classification level the season is very long and it is too early to say that it is a decisive game in points. Girona and Atlético de Madrid are fighting and it is going to be a very competitive League until the end,” he warned.

The classic comes to Real Madrid "in good dynamics" and, for Ancelotti, "in good time", leader of LaLiga EA Sports and with a foot and a half in the round of 16 of the Champions League after signing the full triumph in three days. Despite this, he warned of the danger of the rival: “Barcelona is a great team because it has good offensive and defensive organization, young people with a lot of quality have entered. We expect the same Barça as always.”

“I like them all, Yamal has stood out a lot, he has played very well, he is a very dangerous winger, Fermín has also played very good games, they are young people with a future. We also have them with a spectacular future like Bellingham, Vinícius, Arda Güler, Camavinga, Tchouaméni. They are very young and in the squad we also have many players from the Real Madrid youth academy,” he defended.

Barcelona had injuries, but...

To play against Real Madrid, three players who were injured have already managed to join FC Barcelona's practices, such as Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Frenkie de Jong. The Pole would become a starter if they find him in optimal conditions, while the other two elements mentioned above would enter the squad and the substitute bench in case Xavi needs them.
