Ancelotti: "Bellingham has a strained adductor, but he is fine"

Carlo Ancelotti, in the press conference after the match, ruled out that Jude Bellingham has serious discomfort that could rule him out for Saturday's classic: "Bellingham is fine. His adductor is tight, but it is not important. He is tired, but like everyone ".

The Real Madrid coach was especially satisfied with Vinícius' performance: "I think he has already returned to his level. (They gave him the MVP). He has given two assists, he has scored a goal... You can say that he has scored the difference in today's game. His goal was narrowly disallowed."

Ancelotti gave some clues about the classic: "I have it clear after this match. We have time to prepare for it. Alaba returns from an injury, Mendy could be a risk... I really liked Camavinga as a pivot, he had a great game. "We arrive with all the enthusiasm in the world for an important match," he said.

Ancelotti spoke again about the connection between Bellingham and Vinícius: "We wanted to put a line of four in the midfield. He sacrifices a lot on the left so that Vini is fresher in attack. It has been dangerous, I don't know how much distance Vini has traveled "We forced the pass back and the first goal came out with this. They work well together with the ball. We have to improve in this, but they are both doing well," he said.

The coach was also happy about Rodrygo's goal: "For him it is important and for us too, but a little less so. He has played good games despite not scoring. The goal will help him in the next games."
