On Sunday, football fans will turn their eyes to the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, where the first "El Clasico" match of the season will take place.
True, before the match with the "Barcelona" team, Madrid's "Real" coach Carlo Ancelotti tried to reduce tension.
"These will not be 'live or die' matches.
Of course, the meeting is special, "El Clasico," but the season is very long.
This match came very quickly and, of course, we want to win it. We intend to enjoy these matches and eagerly await them.
"Barcelona" plays very well in the Spanish championship and they only have problems in the UEFA Champions League," the Italian clarified.
C. Ancelotti also spoke about his injured players.
"Our goalkeeper Th. Courtois is already slowly training, but he will not be able to appear in the matches yet.
A. Rudiger is feeling good and a special mask will be made for him so the wound on his head does not open again. But he is a warrior and intends to fight in the match," the specialist assured.
