Carlo Ancelotti, Italian coach of Real Madrid, highlighted the difficulty of the current schedule and the workload of a team that fights for everything, winning LaLiga and the Champions League in the same season, and admitted that "it is quite complicated", but made it clear that they will not give up in the domestic competition.
"Winning the double in one season is not that simple. The truth is that there are teams that may find LaLiga a bit more complicated and focus their minds on the European competition, it's not our case, but it can happen. Winning LaLiga and the Champions League is quite complicated," he said in a press conference.
Ancelotti remembered before starting his press conference that it was the 101st press conference of the season. In it, he began by praising his next league rival, Girona, with a style instilled by their coach, Míchel Sánchez, who is the fifth-best team playing at home in LaLiga.
"Girona plays a very beautiful football. They are a very well-organized team, especially with the ball. They handle possession well and have done very well at home," Ancelotti highlighted, who will rotate his starting lineup again and has five absences in the match.
