‘It’s not bad. If you get too used to it, it’s not good. It’s good for players to think about it.’
Ancelotti concluded on defending his La Liga title this season: ‘We have to fight for the league title with all the teams. The quality of Spanish football is clear. It is quality football. Barcelona, Atletico are strengthening well. We have to fight for everything. That’s what happened. ‘
