Carlo Ancelotti spoke with the Italian newspaper Il Corriere della Sera and the Italian coach analyzed the season with Bayern Munich and the final of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Juventus. He’s worked in both clubs, so he knows very well both teams, but he doesn’t have any favourite to win the title.

Regarding this final of the Champions League at Cardiff, Ancelotti doesn’t say who is the favourite: “I’ll watch it with a great interest, I sympathize with the teams who play best. Buffon is special for me. Real Madrid is not only Cristiano Ronaldo. It’s Ramos, Modric, Marcelo, Benzema and many more”.

Apart from these players, Real Madrid have a great coach, who was Ancelotti’s assistant in his first year: “Zidane hasn’t surprised me at all. He’s intelligent and knows a lot about football”.

The Italian coach doesn’t forget the quarter-finals against Real Madrid and he spoke again about Viktor Kassai, the referee of the game: “It was unfair. In the history it will remain that Real Madrid beat Bayern. And that’s it. But everybody saw what happened at Madrid. It wasn’t normal. VAR have to be installed because it’s necessary”: In this line, he spoke also about the referees: “There are good referees and others less good. Everybody makes mistakes, but not like that, not at these levels”, Ancelotti continued.

He was also asked about Álvaro Morata and the few opportunities he’s having with Zidane: “Morata plays so little with Zidane because Benzema is better striker to play with Cristiano Ronaldo”.

Finally, Ancelotti highlights Mbappé and Dybala as the best youngsters in Europe and he announces that he’s not thinking in retirement: “Ferguson stayed on the bench in 2.000 games”. Finally, he said that the minimum goal for Bayern Munich was to win the Bundesliga title. Mission accomplished.

Real Madrid need one point to win La Liga title on Sunday (19:00, UK Time). Los Blancos travel to Málaga with the need of getting a draw in the last game of the season in the Spanish tournament after the great victory on Wednesday against Celta de Vigo. If we have a look at the stats, it should be a piece of cake for Zidane’s side.

Isco will feel at home on Sunday, as well as Real Madrid. Málaga province is full of Real Madrid supporters and, according to the stats, Los Blancos feel at home every time they have to travel to Costa del Sol. In the last 34 years, Real Madrid have only lost once, in the 22nd of December of 2012.

It was a special game though. José Mourinho was on the bench and he had a fight with the captain, Iker Casillas. The goalkeeper saw the game on the bench, whereas Adán was in the goal. Los Blancos lost that game (3-2) and even Isco scored one goal for Málaga. It was only Christmas, but it was pretty clear that Real Madrid weren’t going to fight for the title that year.

More recently, in their last visit, Real Madrid were unable to win at La Rosaleda. Los Blancos took the lead with a goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, but Albentosa drew the game in the second half. Zidane’s side could win the game easily, but Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty.

The last victory came in 2014, with Carlo Ancelotti on the bench. Real Madrid won (1-2) with Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale finding the net, whereas Isco was sent off. Ancelotti also won in his first visit to Málaga (0-1) thanks to a goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Some of the legends of Real Madrid came from Málaga. Juanito was born in Fuengirola and he’s still remembered in both clubs, Málaga and Real Madrid. Fernando Hierro, born in Vélez-Málaga, is also an icon for the two teams, who maintain a great relationship.

Mónaco won the Ligue 1 title 17 years later on Wednesday. Jardim’s team was able to beat Saint Etienne at home and the secure their title, beating the odds and PSG in the race. The first goal of the game was a superb net scored by Kylian Mbappé, the star of the competition.

Mbappé Lottin is only 18 years old but he has already won the Ligue 1 title scoring 15 goals in the tournament, apart from reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, scoring goals against Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund or Juventus in the knock-out stage.

Soon after Juventus beat Monaco in the Champions League, Mbappé didn’t want to talk about his future because he was focused on bringing one title to his club: “What I have to say is that I’m very focused. What I have to tell, I’ll say afterwards. There are still two or three very important games to finish the season, then I’ll study what I have to study”, said Mbappé one week ago.

Now, the young player has won both important games in the Ligue 1 and he can lift his first major trophy. Now he could be able to think about his future and Real Madrid could be his next destination. Like you can double check in some sites about sports betting in Indonesia, Monaco beat the odds by winning the Ligue 1 title, ahead of favourites PSG.

The club is now focused on renewing Mbappé’s contract, so their star could face another season. Vadim Vasyliev, Monaco vice-president, spoke about the youngster future: “Everything is fine with Kylian. We want him to stay and I think we’re going to take the right decision. We will do everything possible to keep him, but it depends on the club and the player willingness”, the boss said.

Isco-AtléticoMadrid-GI

Isco Alarcón is currently one of the best players of the world. He was helping the team with great performances during the last month, especially against Sporting Gijón, but when Gareth Bale got injured in El Clásico, the Spaniard stood up and showed all his quality.

Now, no one doubts that Isco Alarcón should play the final of the Champions League on the 3rd of June against Juventus even if Gareth Bale is recovered. The playmaker is helping the team with the new formation 4-4-2 and now Real Madrid are playing better than ever. However, Los Blancos are now focused on winning La Liga, the next step.

Zidane’s side will travel to Málaga on Sunday to win La Liga. After the victory at Balaídos (1-4), one point should be enough to lift the trophy at La Rosaleda, Isco’s home. The playmaker was born in the little town Arroyo de la Miel, close to Benalmádena, a coast town very close to Málaga, in the touristic Costa del Sol.

Isco started to be well-known with Málaga when Manuel Pellegrini, former Manchester City coach, was the manager of the team. They were able to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, but Borussia Dortmund kick them out of the competition in the very last minute with a goal in offside. Isco Alarcón was one of the stars of the team, with Van Nistelrooy, Cazorla or Monreal.

Real Madrid put the eye on Isco Alarcón and they paid €30M for the Spanish midfielder. Now Isco has to come back home and win La Liga trophy on the pitch at La Rosaleda. He’s still very appreciated among Málaga supporters and it could be a very special day for Isco to win his first La Liga trophy in his hometown.

Besides, Málaga city is known for having many Real Madrid supporters. Juanito, Real Madrid legendary player, was born in Fuengirola, a town 25km away from Málaga. Now Málaga’s coach is Míchel, another Real Madrid legend. Hopefully, Isco, a legend for Málaga supporters, is able to win the trophy in his town.

Real Madrid are just one point away of lifting La Liga trophy but the coach and the players want to be cautious. They travel on Sunday to La Rosaleda and a draw should be enough to win the title. However, they don’t trust Málaga and they need to recover after the tough game in Galicia.

Zinedine Zidane spoke after the game but he tried to hide the euphoria: “I don’t feel we’ve won La Liga. We still need to sum more points and keep doing our job. It was very important to get points. We’re happy with the three points but we have to play another game, that is going to be as tough or even tougher than this one. The dressing room is happy, cheerful because it was very important to get points”.

Real Madrid players are now looking forward to Málaga: “We are going to keep doing the same, we cannot speculate. It’s going to be a complicated game, we’re trying to play at the maximum”.

After playing so many games, the team could be exhausted: “Today we gave a lot. We need to rest, because with our effort we have to think on how we should rest. In the first half it was a box to box game, and this is not good for us. In the second half we were better with the ball and we did it better”, Zidane said.

Cristiano Ronaldo again scored two very important goals: “He’s great, physically is great. Not only scoring goals, he’s done a great effort in defense. You know he’s great. He can be happy”.

The journalists asked Zidane if the players are enjoying the game: “It’s very important to have have fun. I think everybody is enjoying the team and every Real Madrid supporter is enjoying these players. After nine months, the most important thing is the way of playing, we suffered and we have to suffer to win La Liga, but these players enjoy their moment and we can feel it”.

Finally, the manager was asked if it would be a surprise not to win La Liga title: “I think we did a great game. We are going to think in the next game”, the coach finished.

Benzema-Balaídos-GI

Real Madrid didn’t feel the pressure and they thrashed (1-4) Celta Vigo in the postponed game of La Liga. Cristiano Ronaldo and Isco lead the team to win another three crucial points in the fight for the title. One point more in Málaga and Real Madrid will win La Liga.

Real Madrid started the game very well, as usual, looking for Sergio’s goal. The chances started to arrive very early, but they couldn’t finished after the last pass. In the 10th minute, the goal arrived after a counter attack guided by Isco, who passed back and Cristiano Ronaldo picked the ball. His shot touch the net.

When Los Blancos should be more comfortable with the ball, they started to play worse and Celta arrived with danger to Keylor Navas goal. Iago Aspas was a constant threat and he could draw the game from outside the box. In the 44th minute, Benzema could open the gap after a great assist from Modric, but the French striker missed the chance.

In the first minute of the second half, Guidetti had the chance to draw the game but he missed it. Just after that, Isco caught the ball and cross half of the pitch, he gave a perfect assist to Cristiano, who put the ball again into the goal. The game was even better for Los Blancos in the 62nd minute when Iago Aspas was sent off for diving in the area.

Celta could shorten the gap in the 67th minute, but Keylor Navas saved a really clear chance by Wass. Guidetti finally scored in the 69th minute after a lucky shot. It was time to worry for the result, but the third goal arrived in the next minute, when Benzema tap the ball in after an assist from Marcelo. Now it was time to look for the four goal and Cristiano had the best chance ever, but the Portuguese missed it.

After this chance, Real Madrid could score two or three goals more with Benzema or Lucas Vázquez until Kroos scored the fourth one in the 87th minute. Zidane’s side was much better than the rival and they only need now one more point to win La Liga title. It’s closer than the last five years. A draw in Málaga is enough.

Real Madrid play tonight a crucial game for La Liga title at Balaídos. Los Blancos need to win to overtake Barcelona in the first position. If they get the three points, with a draw at La Rosaleda, Zidane’s team will lift La Liga trophy on Sunday. This is the first of the three finals until the end of the season to win the double: Liga and Champions League.

Celta de Vigo are depressed after losing in the Europa League semi-finals against Manchester United. Berizzo’s team was just one goal far from the final and John Guidetti missed a very clear chance in the very last minute. In La Liga, Celta have lost the last five games of the competition, so Los Blancos should be able to get the three points.

However, Real Madrid should be very cautious with Celta de Vigo. Los Blancos were knock out of Copa del Rey by the Galician team this season, losing the first leg (1-2) at Santiago Bernabéu. In La Liga, Real Madrid also suffered to get the three points (2-1) early in the season, but they won thanks to a goal scored by Toni Kroos.

Besides, Real Madrid already lost the possibility to win La Liga title in 2014, the year Los Blancos won the 10th Champions League in Lisbon. With Carlo Ancelotti on the bench, Real Madrid lost (2-0) at Balaídos in the 37th week of the competition, losing any option to win La Liga title. Atlético Madrid were the champions after drawing (1-1) at Camp Nou.

In that game played on the 11th of May 2014, Carlo Ancelotti played with Casemiro, Modric, Isco or Morata in the starting eleven. Some of these players might start also tonight and they should obtain a very difficult result.

Los Blancos have to take in consideration that Celta de Vigo supporters were also annoyed by some comments made after the game was postponed in winter. Real Madrid tried to play the game but the stadium was damaged because of the wind. Their supporters didn’t like that Los Blancos wanted to play the game, so they’ll try to beat Real Madrid to ruin their options to win La Liga.

James Rodríguez was substituted in the last game at Santiago Bernabéu against Sevilla and the player left the club giving an applause to the supporters. Many people think that it was a gesture of a farewell and the Colombian playmaker will leave the club at the end of the present season. At the moment, James is out of the list to play against Celta tonight, because he has some physical problems.

Some sources like the Colombian radiostation Radio Caracol informed that the transfer deal with Manchester United is completely sealed and it will be announced on the 23rd of May, even before the Champions League final against Juventus on the 3rd of June. This is quite unlikely because Los Blancos don’t want to announce anything before the clash in Cardiff.

On the other hand the British newspaper The Sun said that the agreement is almost done, but Manchester United have other priorities and the announcement won’t be made shortly. However, James Rodríguez new destination will be Old Trafford and he will follow the steps of Ángel Di María, who also left the Spanish capital to go to Manchester.

Real Madrid will cash €65M, so Florentino Pérez will lose €15M in two years because Los Blancos paid Monaco €80M. James Rodríguez has shown in this time that he’s a top class player but he has never had the continuity in the line-up. He has faced hard competitors like Isco, Asensio or Bale, so he could never find a clear spot in the starting eleven.

Some bookmakers like Skybet has also suspended the market where they offered money for the next club of James Rodríguez. Manchester United had lower odds and now it looks like the Red Devils are very close to sign a top class player for the next season.

Celta Vigo v Real Madrid will meet in the postponed match of the 21st week of the regular season. The game will be played next Wednesday (20:00 UK time) at Balaídos. This will be a very important match for Los Blancos because they only need four points in the two remaining games to win La Liga.

Celta v Real Madrid Preview

Celta Vigo are passing through a bad moment and after being knock out in the Europe League semifinals against Manchester United their level has dropped considerably. The team managed by Berizzo is currently in the 13th position of the table and it looks like the League is over for them. The Galician side will play with a similar line-up than the one at Old Trafford with the only absence of Rossi due to a knee injury.

Real Madrid arrive to the game after thrashing Sevilla in the last game of the regular season. This will be the penultimate final for Los Blancos in the fight for La Liga. Real Madrid do not win it since five years ago and now they have a great chance to achieve it because they must add four points in the two remaining games. Zinedine Zidane cannot count with Nacho who is suspended, so Danilo will be the right back, while Marcelo will return to the left back after not playing against Sevilla. Isco and Karim Benzema are likely to como back into the starting 11 while Bale, Carvajal and James are injured.
