Carlo Ancelotti has expressed himself very happy with the victory that Real Madrid achieved against Barcelona in the ninth week of La Liga.
Los Blancos won 3-1 against the Blaugranas at the “Santiago Bernabeu”, to lead alone in the league.
After the match, the Italian said that he made sure not to make the same mistakes as in the derby of the previous edition, while he also put Robert Lewandowks under strict marking.
“After what happened last time, I wanted to make sure we played a simpler game,” Ancelotti initially stated.
“Of course, I tried not to repeat the mistakes I made in the game last season.”

“I used Militao to block Lewandowski, I think it worked!”
“Yes, five changes help you a lot, but I can’t put them all, even though I think we played a perfect game.”
Ancelotti then said that if Krim Benzema wins the Ballon d’Or tomorrow (Monday), then they will have a big party.
“If Karim (Benzema) wins the Ballon d’Or, we will have a big celebration. He deserves such a thing and he proved this even today that he is a complete player and ready to help the team every time”, added the Italian strategist.
