Meeting Highlights…INJURY REPORT
Maffeo and Valjent both are available, we have everyone. It was a complicated situation, a confrontation with the Cup final. They are very difficult situations with Raillo, Valjent, Maffeo, Omar... we do not want relapses and we do want to count on all of them these days.
…REAL MADRID
We know what it's like to beat them, and this year they beat us with a goal from a corner in the 78th minute. I couldn't say if we have the measure of them, we simply like to compete with teams of this type. We don't discover anything new by saying they are best or favourites. The team's enthusiasm is going to weigh a lot.
..TEAM’S MENTAL
It was a cruel night, very hard. We have worked well, and we must connect. There is no better rival than Real Madrid to adapt to the level of competition that we need to have. They are different weeks, but it is true that the minds of both may still be in other places. We are going to try to clean up what happened, and we want to get a good result. The goal is permanence, and we don't think about anything else.

Carlo Ancelotti
Manager on Real Madrid...CRITICISM OF BELLINGHAM
The goals he was scoring have dropped off a bit. It was a surprise for everyone when he hit 20 goals in the first part of the season. Now he's doing his job as a midfielder or a number 10, he's not a centre forward. His performance levels have not dropped. He's not lacking anything. He'll get back to scoring goals again sooner or later.
...TEAM'S FITTNESS
The fitness data from after the game with Manchester City look good. We were in great shape physically. We dropped off a bit in the second half but that was also because we were 2-1 up and wanted to hold onto that. There are no issues in that sense.
...MALLORCA
I'm not sure how the Copa final defeat will affect Mallorca. I doubt it will have too much influence because they have a big challenge, which is to ensure their survival as soon as possible. For us, it's a key game in trying to win the league as quickly as we can.
