Ancelotti’s analysis after the victory, the Clasico already in the sights

Real Madrid put pressure on Barça! One week before the Clasico, the Merengue won 1-0 on the lawn of Getafe to regain a three-point lead over the Catalans who host Celta Vigo tonight. A short success obtained thanks to an early goal from Eder Militao (3rd), but above all a success without conceding a goal: “We controlled the match from the start, even if taking an early lead obviously helped, explained the Italian. It didn’t take long before we had to kill him, we kept him alive until the end. But we just missed a penalty, a goal for offside… we We were solid, we were solid in stopping their attacks. Militao and Rüdiger had a great game. We lacked a bit of precision, because we had a lot of bad shots on goal. But at this stage of the season, it’s it’s good, it’s good.”

“Tonight we defended well”

Afterwards, the White House boss spoke about next week’s Clasico and the possible changes to come in the Champions League: “The clean sheet is very important. The success of last year was due to the very good defensive aspect. Tonight we defended well in a different game with a lot of aerial ball. It was an important game. Now we have a game before the classic. Those who are tired will rest on Tuesday, as I have done today with Benzema and Mendy.” Tuesday, Real Madrid goes to the lawn of Shakhtar Donetsk and could well validate its qualification for the 8th finals;
