Now, Carlo Ancelotti held a press conference prior to the match between Real Madrid and Getafe tomorrow. Among the questions from the press, the journalists did not waste the opportunity to ask him about Xavi Hernandez.

“I was expecting this question. I just want to say one thing and I don't want comparisons. We have a fantastic job, with pressure, which is normal. And I respect everyone, their words and thoughts. Be it Xavi or anyone else.”

“Where I felt the most pressure was at the beginning of my career, in the Italian Second Division. There I had a hard time managing stress, to the point of telling an assistant that I wasn't going to make it to 2000. And here we are, in 2024! I follow. Little by little you get used to it and understand that pressure is the fuel to do your job better.”

Xavi Hernandez did not enjoy being a coach:

“I try to express what I feel, they make you feel worthless every day. It has happened to all the coaches... speaking with Pep Guardiola and he told me, it happened to Valverde and I saw Luis Enrique suffer”
