Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the media ahead of the club’s Super Cup final against Barcelona on Sunday. Ancelotti confirmed that all the players are available and was also asked if there is a feeling of revenge against Barcelona for the defeat last time, to which he responded: “In the first game we play we have to think. We made a very clear assessment. We started well and then fell in the second half. We must avoid the mistakes we made. A Clásico is always a Clásico, even more so if it is a final. Playing against Barcelona is always something special.”

“Well, as always before a final. With great enthusiasm, great desire. The problems of the match against Mallorca have been solved. We are going to face it with great enthusiasm and confidence. As always in the finals.”
Ancelotti on the match
“It is a game that is not predictable. We are clear about what we have to do to reduce the risk, but no one can predict the outcome. There are many things. What we can control is the performance of the match. “I am convinced that tomorrow we will have a very good performance.”

“It is an important aspect that we have looked at and that we have to evaluate and counteract. It is an important aspect.”
Ancelotti on Bellingham’s fitness
“He is fine, he has recovered well. It was a normal load of games. It is very important because he is on a good streak. “He is a player who has made a difference.”
Ancelotti on Iñaki Peña
“The calendar is something important. The players have to be disciplined. When you are in a group you don’t like the group that awaits you. The decision, I want an explanation for the delay. If the reason is acceptable there is no problem, if it is we take action. Which can be any type of measure.”
Ancelotti says the last Clásicos are “crazy”
“Because quality takes precedence over the balance of the team. That’s one of the reasons. There is a lot of individual quality. An important aspect will be balance and collective work.”
Ancelotti on the 4-0 defeat
“If there is a defeat, it is a defeat. It’s a final, we are very close to another title and we are thinking positively. I am aware that anything can happen in football, especially when the opponent competes as he has competed. A defeat wouldn’t be good, but the team keeps going.”
Ancelotti’s message to the fans
“Barça is always a historic rival. The matches are very complicated. It’s hard for us, hard for them. The result cannot be predicted. “We try to do our best and try to win another title.”
Ancelotti in the team
“I don’t ask much of them. Because we spend a lot of time together during the year. We spend a lot of time together, but I give them a lot of freedom. We make more videos these days, but they don’t last more than 15 minutes. I give them a lot of freedom. They have a good time together and there is a good atmosphere. “I don’t know what they’re doing in the room and I don’t want to know.”
Ancelotti on the Club World Cup
“We didn’t think about that. We take into account that there is something special in summer: a Club World Cup. We think about doing well in all the games and nothing more. “The Club World Cup is very far away.”
Ancelotti on Olmo
“It could be that we haven’t been able to stop a very good player. Dani Olmo is going to play and we have to try to minimize his quality.”
Ancelotti on Gil Manzano
“Gil Manzano is a good referee, with experience. He has refereed many important matches. And Real Madrid TV thinks the same.”
Ancelotti on whether there will be any surprises
“No, there will be a stadium full of fans and we will enjoy a good game.”
