Meeting Highlights…VINICIUS
The last time I spoke to him was on Tuesday. I thanked him for what he said and for the three goals in the final against Barcelona. I thank him for what he does, for what he tries to improve and for scoring a hat-trick in a Super Cup match.
…TEAM SELECTION
I don't give an opinion, I listen, and I look at what happens in the locker room. We are in a good dynamic, plugged in, they are playing very good football. Everyone is fine, now we have the possibility of working more and that will be very good for us. There is no internal debate. I accept the external debate, but I am the one who chooses the goalkeeper. There are players who deserve to play, I have to take into account those who have not recovered well. I think they will all recover. The objective is not to give minutes but to win the games.
…MATCH
We are focused on the Almería match. The data says that he only has six points, but they deserved to beat Girona and put Barça and Atlético in trouble. They are alive and will fight tomorrow. We will have to be prepared.

Pepe Mel
Manager on Almeria…ON MATCH
We have to play a great game and they have to not be successful, because they generate a lot and we hope they don't have the day offensively. We have to be very good and they have to be not so good, although we have already shown that we can compete with big teams like Girona, Atlético de Madrid, FC Barcelona…
…REAL MADRID
I have gone several times as a coach to the Santiago Bernabéu and it's always difficult. It is one of the best teams in the world and we are going with all the enthusiasm possible, we must give it everything and if we give a good version we will be in the game. We are going to present them with a complicated commitment and they know it.
…ANCELOTTI
Ancelotti is one of the best coaches in the world and a gentleman, he always has been.
