Real Madrid are in great shape in all competitions, but are still wary of their great rival.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side are top of La Liga, tied on points with Girona, and are in contention to win all three cups (Champions League, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup). However, it will not be easy for Los Blancos to win another treble. Ancelotti therefore expects FC Barcelona to be a strong challenger for his team, despite their well-known difficulties over the last two months.
“I think Barcelona is doing well. They are fighting for La Liga, the Champions League, the Super Cup and the Copa del Rey. I don’t like to rate others, but I’m sure they will fight for all the titles. »
The two teams could face each other next weekend in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, if they win their respective semi-finals. If that’s the case, the winner of this match in Riyadh could set the tone for the rest of the season – Real Madrid will be hoping it’s them who come out on top.
