Carlo Ancelotti is serene.
Quiet leader of La Liga, rather well on board in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the Italian can sleep on his two ears.
On top of that, he has Karim Benzema in his team.
Imagine the calm of the man in a press conference on the eve of the return match against Chelsea.
Carlo doesn't even hide it, his team depends on Benzema.
On the verge of denouncing himself for fictitious employment.
"It's true that we are dependent on Benzema and I'm not going to hide it.
I am very happy to depend on him.
He is the perfect representation of what a center forward should be in today's football, ”said the former PSG coach, who also had a thought for Vinicius.
“In the past we had Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale.
This season our two key strikers are Vinicius and Benzema.
“Real loses a bit in golf and bodybuilding but in terms of football, it's still quite honest.
Tuchel believes in a comeback
On the Chelsea side, we brag a little less.
Thomas Tuchel has not completely given up, but does not seem to believe more than that in a surprise qualification at the Bernabeu.
"The task is incredibly difficult, considering the result of the first leg, the place where we play, the opponent and the level of competition," said the German.
But it's always allowed to dream.
