If Real Madrid did not have an opponent to their height last year in La Liga, this should no longer be the case this season. Last year, the Merengue went it alone at the top of the championship, Barça having been unable to come and disturb them, the fault of a failed start to the season. But the 2022-2023 season should offer us a little more suspense. Thanks to a capital transfer window (Kessie, Christensen, Koundé, Lewandowski, Raphinha), the Blaugrana will once again be a serious contender for the league title, and Carlo Ancelotti understood this well. Asked about his great rival, the Italian technician did not hesitate to highlight the progress of this team.
“In football, nothing surprises me”
“I think Barcelona are putting together a fantastic team, but I have to take care of my team. I have to focus on my team and not look at others. In football, nothing surprises me. The Barça is a team that must always be respected. This year, they will be a team that will fight until the end”, indicated the winner of the last Champions League after his friendly success against Juventus Turin ( 2-0). As a reminder, the White House remains on two defeats against Barça, in the league 4-0 at the Bernabeu, and in a friendly last week 1-0. What is there to see a transfer of power? The champion will sell his skin very dearly.
to summarize
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has been full of praise for Barca who will be a tough opponent this season to win La Liga. “I think Barcelona are putting together a fantastic squad,” he explained.
