a greater threat to Real Madrid’s Champions
League crown than Bayern Munich or Chelsea this
season, Goal reports via Tuttosport.
Madrid have been drawn against Bundesliga outfit
Schalke in the last 16 of the competition as they
look to become the first side to retain the trophy
in its modern format.
Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea and Pep Guardiola’s
Bayern both reached the last four last season and
have enjoyed impressive starts to their respective
campaigns, but Ancelotti believes both teams
have too many young players who do not yet
possess the experience needed to succeed in the
latter stages.
Tuttosport. “Bayern or Chelsea have several world
champions and players with international
experience, but are just missing that bit of
maturity in the youngsters.”
Madrid have won their previous 22 competitive
outings but suffered a 4-2 friendly defeat to AC
Milan on Tuesday – though Ancelotti does not
believe it will hamper their chances of victory
against Valencia this weekend.
“It is a defeat that does not hurt at all. After a
week of vacation we needed a game like this to
prepare for the trip to Valencia. It serves to
recover our rhythm,” Ancelotti concluded.
“Milan played well and we did not, but that does
not ruin everything good that we did in 2014. We
are very pleased with a fantastic year.”
