The Real Madrid coach, the Italian Carlo Ancelotti, on Friday described as “regrettable” the draw for the European Champions League that had to be done again after a mistake and finally paired his team against Paris Saint Germain (PSG) of Lionel Messi in the round of 16.
“It was regrettable, quite a glaring mistake. But hey, it was a mistake and nothing more. Now we have to think about the crossing with PSG. The goal is to reach that tie in the same state the team was in before the recent coronavirus outbreak. What I want is to get to the month of February without injuries and without contagions “, said the DT in a note with the Spanish newspaper AS.
“There is no clear favorite for this Champions League. Bayern, Liverpool or PSG, they are. But also Madrid. And Atlético. Yes. Atlético de Madrid can do something important in this type of continental knockout ”, he commented.
Real Madrid comfortably leads LaLiga de España and shows a high level, above previous expectations, led by Luka Modric, Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior.
“Vinicius has fantastic speed and talent. I had never seen a player with his ability to overflow, to go one-on-one. But he still has the capacity to improve, for example, in the game without the ball, in attacking the spaces and in the shot, where he can progress ”, he highlighted about the Brazilian forward.
And he also had valuable words for Benzema, who has 20 goals in 23 games this season and compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo and the Norwegian Erling Haaland: “He is one of the best in the world, his numbers say it.”
Finally, the DT winked at Haaland and the French Kylian Mbappé, who sound strong in the White House, and assured: “I think they will want to play in the new Santiago Bernabéu stadium.”
