Ancelotti Says Next Clásico is Key for Real Madrid’s La Liga Title Chance
Carlo Ancelotti has acknowledged that next weekend’s Clásico could be “almost” crucial for Real Madrid’s hopes of winning the La Liga title. Speaking after Madrid’s 3-2 win over Celta Vigo on Sunday, Ancelotti said the team’s chances of catching Barcelona are alive, with just four points separating them.
A win for Madrid at Montjuïc would cut the gap to just one point with three games left in the season. “It won’t be decisive, but almost,” Ancelotti said when asked if Madrid needed to beat Barcelona to stay in the race.
“Winning would put us just a point behind. While the title would still be in Barcelona’s hands, we’d definitely have a better shot.” Barcelona have won all three of this season’s Clásicos so far.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
