Ancelotti is bullish about their chances at the Metropolitano.
Tomorrow's match:
"They are always a great rival and that will not change. It will be an entertaining match, hard-fought, because there is a lot of quality in both teams. It will be a spectacle."
The cards for protesting:
"We have spoken, yes, because the only way is to avoid unnecessary protests."
How is Camavinga?
"He is available and therefore can play 90 minutes and zero minutes."
Playing without Mbappé:
"Without Mbappé things change a bit but not much. It's a shame he's not here but we can make up for him well. We're used to playing without him."
The atmosphere against Vinicius:
"Tomorrow is going to be an entertaining show, they are going to bring all their qualities to make it a great show."
Atlético's complaints about playing with fewer days of preparation:
"I understand them, because we also had to prepare well due to lack of time."
How Madrid is doing:
"I think we have improved, apart from the mistake at the end of the last game. We have been a more united, more effective team, and tomorrow is a very important test."
Special derby:
"It's always special. I think Atlético has improved a lot, it has signed good players and I think it will fight until the end for this League with us and with Barcelona."
Tomorrow's system:
"I don't pay much attention to it, it doesn't mean that adding one more midfielder makes it a 4-4-2 or adding one striker makes it a 4-3-3. What I do pay attention to is that the team is united and committed."
The visit to the Metropolitano:
"Every game has its own story. Predicting what will happen tomorrow is difficult. We have a plan and we'll see if it works out for us."
Vinicius Ballon d'Or?
"I think he's going to win it, but if not, it's not a problem. We'll move on and so will he, but I think he deserves it."
Last year:
"It's obvious that we have to avoid the mistakes of last year. That learning could be useful for tomorrow's game."
