‘Madrid Derby Is Always Special’, Says Ancelotti Ahead Of High-stakes Clash Vs Atletico
Copa Del Rey: La Liga leaders Real Madrid will be hosting their neighbours Atletico Madrid for the second Madrid Derby this season. With only one point separating the two sides on the points table, head coach Carlos Ancelotti expects nothing less than a ‘special match’ on Sunday (IST).
“It's a very important match for two teams fighting to win the league. The (Madrid) derby is a special match, as always. Atlético are strong and it'll be an even match. There is nothing new in the run-up to the game. The opposition have all the quality they need to fight for this competition, just like us," said Ancelotti in a press conference.
Madrid will be high on confidence heading into the game having secured a 90+3 minute victory over Leganes in the quarter-final of the Copa Del Rey. Atletico on the other hand brushed past Getafe with a 5-0 victory.
