Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid left on a parity score this Saturday in Liga (1-1), as in the first leg last September. This second Madrid derby of the season therefore did not designate a winner, and the struggle for the title is more than ever relaunched. In the event of success against Seville this Sunday, FC Barcelona could return to only two points from Casa Blanca, first, and to a Colchoneros unit, currently second.
In this context of fierce competition, Diego Simeone did not fail to throw oil on the fire. After the meeting, the Atlético coach openly placed the Barça over Real. “We are in very good position. But Barça, I repeat, is the best team. We will see if tomorrow they manage to win in Seville and if the classification tightens ”he launched.
“We are very good”
Faced with the words of his Argentinian counterpart, Carlo Ancelotti wanted to respond in his way at a press conference. He notably recalled the position of leader of his team, rented the group spirit of his players and highlighted their ability to deal with obstacles, in particular the massacre of injuries that struck the workforce.
“Everyone has their opinion”, estimated the mister, before adding:“It will be a very disputed liga and we are happy to be leaders despite the difficulty. Because before the match, I saw an image: Carvajal, Militão, Alaba and Rüdiger (all injured, note) greeting their teammates who were going to play. Despite the difficulty, we are very good. »»
