Ancelotti: Barcelona are doing really well and so are we

Added at:

Carlo Ancelotti gave his thoughts on Real Madrid's derby win over Atlético:

"We've got a very competitive squad and we've done it without Benzema, our most important player. We can improve on some things, but the fact is that I can't ask any more from this team. We've won every game and are really pleased. I'm proud to be coaching these players".

"We managed to play out from the back very well in the first half and both goals involved Courtois playing out. We were comfortable on the ball and in the second half we lost the focus of trying to cause them problems. We had the game under control, but we had to dig in at the end because Atlético's goal created problems for us. Ideally you want to score lots of goals and not concede, but there's no such thing as perfection".

“Barcelona are doing really well and so are we. Atletico haven’t had the best of starts, but it’s a strange season. We don’t know what will happen after the World Cup and what has happened to Atletico could happen to us or to Barcelona after the tournament. It’s going to be a more competitive league season than the previous one”.
