Ancelotti explains what he told Real Madrid players in the dressing room after the defeat against Barcelona

He was defeated on the field and in the press room. This is how Carlo Ancelotti showed himself after falling to Barcelona at home (0-4) in a match that particularly hurt him and the team as a group because “a Clasico and we know it is important for the fans,” as the Italian himself commented. His comments after the match were as follows:

Reasons for defeat

Simply because Barcelona played better than us. They opened the scoring with two goals and it was almost impossible to get into the match. They played better and won. It is not difficult to explain.”

Bet on Modric in the offensive line

“With Modric we tried to control the ball more, but it didn’t work for us and with their playing they hurt us.”

Was it the worst defeat?

“Yes. Modric’s plan was not good, and it did not go well. I didn’t make a good decision. For me, there is no problem in taking responsibility because that is the case. Sometimes he’s right, sometimes he fails but I don’t make drama.”

Gareth Bale status

“He was not feeling well after yesterday’s training. I don’t know what will happen to Wales. Tomorrow he will leave and the doctors will decide.”

crowd feelings

“I think it was good despite the fact that we clearly lost. What will happen in the next few months but I don’t think this loss will affect the team. I can fail once, but it is very rare twice.”

Aubameyang interferes with Kroos

“I don’t know, I don’t understand, but I don’t want to go into this because it means I make excuses and I don’t want that to happen. We played poorly, I planned the game poorly and that’s it.”

Future vision

“That night wasn’t our night. We are sorry for the fans but now we have to rest and prepare for the next match to continue the advantage we have, which is great.”

Feelings after the match

“We lost a battle. We’re sorry it was El Clasico but we shouldn’t make drama out of this match. We have to keep working and in this week off we can get the players back.”

Message to the locker room

“I told the players in the dressing room after the match that it was my fault. I repeat, it was my fault.”
