Real Madrid legend David Beckham has defended coach Carlo Ancelotti. Real face Barcelona at the Nou Camp on Sunday.

Beckham told AS: "We know that there's a lot of pressure, but that's normal because it's a huge match. Every player who loves football wants to play in it. We're going to prepare well for the match, all together, to go to Barcelona and win. We're only thinking about working hard to win together, as always. If we defend well we can do it.

"We can repeat the result from the first half of the season. We're in good shape to win and put in a performance like the one we put in. We're Real Madrid. To score again like I did in our first meeting of the season, I need a bit of luck and nothing else."
