Ancelotti We have an extremely important week ahead of us

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his bewilderment at the yellow card that was shown to Vinicius Junior in the match against Espanyol (3:1). "I didn't understand why they gave Vinicius a card. It wasn't stopping a dangerous attack. "Sometimes Vinny gesticulates and complains about the referees, but today he behaved extremely professionally and played a very strong game," said Ancelotti.

   "The start was not good for us, but we made a turnaround and then controlled the match skillfully. We had to win and we accomplished our task. This time we were able to cope against a tight defence. We were more energetic, especially on the right flank", continued the Italian specialist.

"There are no easy matches, regardless of the opponent. We needed the three points. An important week ahead with a Champions League match and El Clasico. I hope we prepare well for the match against Liverpool on Wednesday. There can be many pitfalls in it and we must avoid them," Ancelotti emphasized. For the coach of the royal club, the victory against Espanyol was number 100 in La Liga.
