Carlo Ancelotti gave his thoughts on Real Madrid’s 3-1 win over Espanyol on Saturday. The Italian spoke to Movistar after the game.
Madrid beat Espanyol
The start wasn’t great, then we came back, we controlled it and it was a good game. We needed to win, we won it and we’ll go on to the next one now.
Was it a difficult game?
Yes, today we did better against a tight defence, we had more mobility up front, especially on the right. We scored three goals and now we have to prepare for the next game, which is important.

On Liverpool and Barcelona games
All matches are difficult, no matter who the opponent is. We have to focus on ourselves. It’s the start of a very important week, with the Champions League and the Clásico. We’re on a good run. Wednesday’s game can have many pitfalls, and we have to avoid them.
City to offer striker new deal
You seemed annoyed with the yellow card that Vinícius received...
I didn’t understand it, but that’s OK. I don’t understand the yellow cards he gets, sometimes he protests, but his attitude was exemplary, and he scored a fantastic goal.
