The triumph of Real Madrid in the classic Cup cup at the Camp Nou, the second largest in the history at Barcelona’s home, Carlo Ancelotti does not interpret it as a claim. And, he assured that after directing “1 thousand 272 games”, he does not have “to prove anything to anyone.”

“I am very well, calm, excited and highly motivated because the team is doing well. My mood depends a lot on how the team is. I see it very well and on a personal level I am the same, I have no problems. Sometimes after the game you are so tired that you just want to stay calm. In a game like Wednesday there is a lot of pressure before and during, and when it’s over you get tired and you just want to rest ”, he explained.
